I and the current stage appears to be a go through stages with things and the current stage is adding DCC chips to my collection of 00 gauge locos but seemingly concentrating on steamers at the moment!
The latest project is this Hornby model of the 2-8-0 Class 8F which like the Robinson 04 that I posted about a few days ago was designed as a heavy haul freight loco. However, like many freight locos it has a really stunning and powerful look to it.
The information at the end of the box tells us that Hornby have helpfully designed this loco for a DCC chip to be installed which makes life easy!
The enclosed instructions showed that the DCC chip plug is located in the tender and there is only one screw to undo to get the tender body off!
With the trender body off the DCC blanking plug could be removed...
With that done and back on its wheels it was time to program the DCC chip.
Then it was onto the layout to have a play test!
