ProtoSound 2 to DCC Conversion: How do the various components work?

Ed KapuscinskiOGR Forum Member

I've been working on converting an MTH PRR H3 2-8-0 over to DCC using a TCS WowSteam decoder. So far so good (although the MTH wiring scheme made no sense).

However, I want to try and use the smoke generator and possibly the synchro cam.

Do any of you folks have info about how those components work and are wired?

I know, for example, I know what wires are connected to what:

Dark Blue - Cam
Orange - Cam
Brown - Smoke Heater
Green - Smoke Fan
Gray - Smoke Fan

But I don't know the details of what those inputs and outputs actually are doing.

Any help would be appreciated.
