  Auscision Models 442 Class Operating Information. 

 

Your Auscision Models 442 class locomotive’s main printed circuit board and associated lighting has been 

designed to function as a 

DC 

and

 DCC Sound Decoder Installed

 

Model

.  In these notes reference is 

made to the No.1 end and No.2 end of the model.  This diagram will assist in identifying which end 

is which: 

 

 

 

DC Model 

The DC model is able to control the locomotives lighting via the micro switches on the bottom of the 

fuel tank.  The lighting is directional.  The switches are able to isolate, turn on/off:  

1.

 

The Locomotives Headlights. 

2.

 

The Locomotives Number Boards and White Marker Lights. 

3.

 

The Locomotives Red Marker Lights. 

The lighting connection for the 

DC

 

model 

has the 

Number 1 and Number 2 end white/red marker lights

 

connected to the main printed circuit board at the two plugs marked 

‘DC’

.

 

The Headlights and Number 

Boards connection is via a 

COMMON 

wiring plug that both the 

DC

 and 

DCC Sound Decoder Installed

 

versions use. 

(See image on page 3)  

If you’re going to operate your model on a DC system /controller then read no further.  If you plan on 

fitting an after marker decoder or your model is a DCC Sound Ready model please read on.

  

 

DCC Ready Model - fitting an aftermarket decoder

ESU Loksound V5 decoder

.  Via the 21 

pin connector this decoder functions with four individually powered auxiliary outputs (Headlight front, 

Headlight rear, Aux 1 and Aux 2) and four individual logic outputs (Aux 3, 4, 5, 6) which the main circuit 

board has electronic components included for their operation.  The
