PLUG-AND-PLAY CIRCUIT BOARD This Bachmann GP40 locomotive comes equipped with a nonproprietary plug-and-play electronic circuit board. This is designed to accommodate your chosen aftermarket plug-and-play products. As delivered, the locomotive has a (DC) Jumper PC Board in this socket and will operate on standard DC-powered track setups without modification. All of the locomotive’s lighting functions are on when the (DC) Jumper PC Board is in the socket and the LIGHT switch is ON. - Page 5 Ditch lights came into frequent use in the 1980s and were mandated in 1997. Most GP40s came from the factory without ditch lights but as the years progressed most railroads added them. The Bachmann GP40 has provisions to easily add ditch lights should you desire. On one side of the socket are two sets of solder pads labeled F4 and F5.
