Re: Roy Link/KBscale Lister and DCC

Phil, ? I milled out the centre of the chassis under the gearbox to a point where I was just NOT catching the layshaft. I then cut away some of the underside of the gearbox. I was using a very small N gauge chip. Chips have got even smaller and if you have a burley driver I think you'd get the chip in him. Wires down the legs. Maybe a sack over the shoulders to keep off the rain. I've long gone back to DC as my friends cannot remember the chip number but do understand switches. I'm on modified Kadees but someone said he'd put one in the end of the chassis, he was on link couplings. Incidentally if you can still get one a Mashima 1015 will fit if you trim the plastic. ? Frank ?

Subject: [o14] Roy Link/KBscale Lister and DCC? Hope everyone is well and keeping safe.? I have a part built Roy Link Lister kit which I wish to fit for DCC?and am hoping someone may be able to offer advice on a couple of points.?Firstly?one of the motor brushes is grounded to the motor frame and picks up direct through the chassis.? I realise that the brush needs electrically isolating but I am wondering whether?I can just break the connection between brush and chassis or should I also isolate the pickup from the chassis to reduce the risk of any shorts???Being new to DCC and also not very electronically minded I hope I have explained myself sufficiently.? I am particularly wary of blowing up ?32 worth of decoder on my first attempt at fitting!? Secondly, has anyone on here fitted a decoder to the Lister and if so, where? I am looking either at one side between the axles, chassis and frames, reducing the chassis at one end and fitting it behind the buffer beam or building the kit with the canopy and hiding the decoder in the roof.? Any help, suggestions etc. would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Phil
