Atlas master dash8-40bw with ESU 54650

[tmac66]

Howdy, I installed an ESU lokpilot 54650 in one of the Atlas master line silver series…as it’s the only non sound decoder for it. The LEDs on the board don’t match the light pipes of the shell so it seems like I’m going to end up hardwiring LEDs.

I can’t find a diagram for this exact board at ESU or searching the internet so I’m hoping being an Atlas forum, someone here has dealt with this and made some progress. Does anyone have a diagram by chance for this model board or has done one and can tell me which solder pads are which or perhaps if you had a way of working the light piping to make it better?

Thanks very much for any help!!!

Diagram should be on ESU site:

LokSound Select Direct instruction manual:

LokSound Select Direct Micro 73100, 73199 instruction manual.

54650 is the same board as the 73199 with the sound related electronic circuitry left unpopulated.

Thanks!!! That should help, a quick glance thru the info makes me feel like this is gonna be a pain lol. Sounds like removing smd (s) if I want to accomplish correcting the lighting.
