Using the 1525 TCS Train Control Systems WOW121 Steam decoder is a breeze. First, connect it to your locomotive with a DCC - ready 21 - pin MTC connector. If you're using a motherboard, attach the decoder to it. This will determine the support for lighting functions.

For lighting, keep in mind that functions 5 and 6 are non - programmable and always output constant bright lights. When wiring multiple lighting functions, plan accordingly. To check the available sounds, go to the 'Sounds List' under the 'Documents' tab. For maintenance, keep the decoder clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you want to program the decoder, use the Audio Assist® feature. You don't need to memorize CVs. Enjoy customizing your acceleration, deceleration, speed curves, and lighting effects to create a unique model train experience.
