So simple!

Hanging around and awaiting a few minutes to put a DCC chip in it has been this wonderful Hornby A3  Steam Loco number 45 'Lemburg' in LNER black livery. It really does look stunning and even more stunning was just how simple it was to put a chip in. Even I could not go wrong!

The socket for the chip is located in the tender. All that is needed to separate the tender body from the chassis is to prise off the coupling and unscrew one screw!

Then off with that blanking plate.

And in with the chip!

Tender body screwed back on and coupling reinserted and all was good to programme and get some miles in! 

If only all locos were so simple!
