Modern Rolling Stock

[Schraddel]

Hello,

as a impulse buy, i purchased a Bowser MLW C-630 in BCR livery. My dealer had one of these on offer in DCC ready.

At Bowser meanwhile they are mounting Esu electronic components. Bearing my bad experiences with Scaletrains with also esu components, i decided to investigate mistrustful the electronis inside.
The photo shows a part of the interior.


Further investigation if the boards are useable with Non-Esu decoders. Happily they were. Otherwise i had removed the propertiary crap. Ordered a Soundtraxx Tsunami-2 PNP8 and started over with this type of sound decoder. Just as i had done with my Scaletrains GE ET44ACs (see separate thread).


Because the boards and electronics were useable, i orders an Tsunami-2 with 21-pin connector. The photo shows the electrical test run. All lights were acessible and all functions were working properly.


After the sucessful test run, the loco was completely dismantled for my mechanical optimisation programme.
