The loco runs great, the train looks great so all is well!

Having now got the coach pack to the Hornby EWS  Business Train Pack, I needed to actually get it all on the track.

But, before I could do that I needed to DCC chip the Class 67 loco.

I have done this before on the Transport For Wales Class 67 so I knew it was fairly simple and with just four screws to undo the body came off easily.

With the body off, the DCC blanking plug was removed and replaced with a 21 pin chip from the WMD Stores.

It was then on with the body, programme the chip and then loco and all the coaches went on the layout.

The first thing that struck me was the beauty of the train. It just looked right! Second thing that struck me was the length. Normally I run 6 coach trains but this one is a seven coach train. One additional coach should not make much of a difference but it does.

The loco runs great, the train looks great so all is well!
