DCC Loco Conversions - 45 - Hornby 3F Jinty R.058 1978

A simple conversion using a Digitrax DN136D of the later X04 mechanism

Very Important - Both arms of the brush spring must be sleeved to isolate both brushes from track power otherwise the decoder is likely to be destroyed.

This X04 version has a different chassis with the motor set forward to allow fitment of a basic cab interior, the decoder has been fixed with a sticky pad to the inside of the body as the earlier version.

Interference suppression components removed.

Decoder harness wires are hard wired directly to the motor brushes , track power is connected to the decoder from a pickup tab and the solder tag retained by the motor mounting screw.

Unused wires from the connector are cropped.
