MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

So, I've been wanting to get along with this decoder installation but I discovered I ran out of the shrink tube that I like to use. I use shrink tube from Miniatronics that comes in 10" lengths. Had to order some to continue.

Here is how the decoder and frame of tender sit after some double sided tape was used.




I used this Loksound product with NMRA DCC socket and harness.




With some styrene I made up this little mount to install the socket and harness




I installed the mount on the rear of the tender and added some styrene tubing to help with wire management.



I was able to re-install the Miniatronics 4 pin socket that connects with drive side of the locomotive.



I do not have the lighting side of the decoder installation done. Maybe tomorrow night. When I tested the unit on the test track it tested good. And you can notice a big difference in sound with the use of the Bachmann trucks over the Bowser trucks. Much, much quieter.
