Hello all,
I have a Flying Scotsman "Set" - the one that comes with coaches, power pack, track, track mat, etc.
I am planning to fit it with a DCC decoder and I think it might be impossible.
The motor is in the tender on this "set" version, and it seems like the motor is directly connected to the wheels for some of the electrical pickup from the tracks. If this is the case, then isolating the motor will be impossible, or is it???
Has anyone taken one of these apart, or installed a decoder in one?
I am in need of some sage wisdom on this one.
Thanks,
Jim C.
