Good Morning,
I am in the middle of double powering a Lima 73 with two Blackbeetle Drives, unfortunately along the way I got bitten by the DCC bug and although I have fitted decoders to locos with one motor, Lima 20, Bachmann 20, I haven't been able to sum up the courage to chip the double power conversion. I have succesfully fitted a class 33 with one Blackbeetle drive and it is much better on DCC than on a feedback DC controller, I haven't been able to find any instructions or guidance on driving two power units from one decoder, I had planned using printed circuit board to get the power from the pickups to the motor, but I guess I can't if I need to wire in a decoder.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
