Hope this helps.

Then scan the decoder and if it is in the JMRI list, it will be found. Once this is identified, then READ ALL SHEETS and all CVs will be read into JMRI into the LOCO in this roster.

From here you can create reports and document your decoder and such.

The next option is to find the manual for this decoder,

ALCO is the American Locomotive Company, who made this prototype.

The pc board you mentioned seems to be the base board with the pin header on which your decoder chip should mount.

I use their decoders all the time. I believe they have a data sheet showing which of their decoders go with each locomotive. Worth a check.

That would mean you just plug in the DCC decoder and add a speaker, of course. A little wiring will be required. Go to a DCC website, for example ESU (Electronic Solutions Ulm, GmbH) Select Products, then Loksound and find the matching decoder for your N scale locomotive. Other websites should have a similar layout. Also, your local hobby shop would be a good place to go to for advice.
