Life Like S1 Switcher with MC2-S1 Decoder Installation

The MC2 micro decoder with S1 harness fits very nicely using original NMRA socket supplied with the loco.  The diode light board has been removed and the original 2 volt bulbs replaced with 12 volt bulbs. The body shell fits no problem with  room to spare!  The MC2 decoder can be ordered together with the S1 harness (MC2P-S1) or the harness is available separately (MC-S1). We used a value of 2 in CV56 and 60 in CV57 for Dither values. This helped low speed a lot.  Electrical tape was used to hold wires in place and also underneath the loco NMRA socket board to prevent a short.
