Decoder Fitting on R2988 (Brighton Belle)

Hello @all.

As I am just starting to get in touch with the digital area, I just wanted to plug in a decoder (R8249) into my R2988 Brighton Belle, which is DCC Ready.

But after opening the cover, I saw a 8-pin connector(which is located on the main pcb as shown on the Service Sheet as No. 10) But on the service sheet, there is no plate plugged in. As I have a plug there, it looks like this will be the analoque plug, but is soldered.

Therefore, I wondered, if I would have to desolder this plug in order to be able to put in the decoder. This would not be the idea of DCC Ready or am I completely wrong?

But then, I opened the complete car, because I was not sure, if the connector plug is just a little bit downstairs.

Thanks for any advice.

The blanking plug should prise out allowing you to plug in a decoder.

Hi RAF96.

Thank you for your reply.

 

It worked now.

I just did expect, that it would need to put such pressure on the screwdriver to get the plug out. I really  hammered it out, because it was really permanently fixed.
