Just a call for help really,
I recently aquired Hornby's R2465 BR 2-8-0 Class 2800 Locomotive. I now want to convert it to DCC.
This loco is tender driven, which I have no problems fitting a decoder, but I do have one small query, This loco comes with a smoke creator and a red led in the firebox.
As soon as the Loco is place on the track it starts to create smoke. unless it is in an isolated pice of track. how can I wire this one up to only smoke when called up on DCC.
I could simply not put oilin but the smoke element will still generate heat and I do not want to damage the body.
Thanks
Cpt Jack.
