GN Z-1 electrics A-B-B-A decoder install.   

Two wheel leading and trailing trucks and two 4 wheel driving trucks. 

These electrics normally operated in 'pairs' so I have two of them.

TCS 1485 KAM4 with K/A but no sound.  Most of my electrics usually growl, anyway, from the gear mechanism.  

The first decoder went quick.  Some new LED lights and the decoder fits nicely between the motor and 1st gear box.

The second electric, not so quick.

Gears were slipping on one set of trucks.  Nothing comes apart easy as all the sprung axle supports have to be removed because the contacts along the insulated drivers became miss-aligned when the gear box is removed.
