UP 10,000 decoder install.
Using a TCS KAM4 decoder (no sound but 'keep alive'). Will be using two decoders (front and back). Ordered another KAM4 as I only had one.
Easy access to motor housing group; all modular.
One old incandescent bulb.
Never seen this before: no removable bottom. The entire brass frame is one piece. There are screws front and back that hold the seat assembly that slides in from the back of the engine structure.
Nice: they already had some red plastic for the marker lights so I just glued some 0402 LED's to them. Another for the headlight. Some canopy glue used to secure them.
Light test.
This is too easy! Doing steam, it takes a couple days with all the lights, connectors, etc. Soldering all the wires for the KAM4 only took about an hour. No connector made as all the wire were left long. I'll just slide the decoder and wires into the body and secure the motor housing to the body.
New delivery: more decoder hook up wire and more soldering tips for my soldering station.
