Chipping a 67!

With the Transport for Wales Train Pack having arrived I need to DCC chip the Class 67 loco before I can run the train. In theory a simple job having actually read the instructions. 

Undo four screws, lift body off, remove 8 pin DCC plug, fit DCC chip and reverse the other steps.  Simples! Well actually most of it was. The hardest bit was getting the body to lift off the chassis even with the four screws removed.

With the body off the inners were exposed which does look electronically very impressive!

With the 8 pin plug removed it was time to fit the DCC chip.

I used one of my Lais chips from the WMD Stores and there is plenty of space to fit it.

With the chip in it was, as already stated, a simple reverse of procedure to get the body screwed back on. A quick test with a 9v battery confirmed all was well for the programming stage that will come later.
