Decoder

Digitrax DZ123

Functions

None

I've recently re-done the decoder installation. First time around I isolated the pickup strips using Kapton tape. however that also created play in the wheel axles, and the engine ran erratically. I've redone the inatllation using the DCC Supplies "DiGiHat" plastic bush to isolate the bottom motor brush: this is simple the pickups are now connected back to the chassis. the DZ123 fits into the back of the cab: I had to remove its red heatshrink and re-insulate with Kapton tape.

For those interested, the decoder installation is now essentially identical to that for the class 08 shunter.
