0-6-0 decoder install

The Mantua 0-6-0 Goat switcher #33 ran under its own power today controlled by a DSD-090LC decoder and everything worked except the backup light will not go off.

Of course this decoder came out of #31 which doesn't have a backup light. So I guess I will be removing the decoder from #31 and swapping it with the decoder in the Goat. That shouldn't take more than a day.

I am hopeful the 0-6-0 Goat #33 will be in use at the next session.

This seems to be a never ending process!

Post update:

I tried the backup light output from #31 and it would NOT work. So I decided to go with the current configuration (backup light on dim all the time, bright in reverse and headlight controllable) for #33. So now all I need to do is install the cam wiper, letter and number the unit and she is ready.
