A Hornby Railroad  9F This one, unlike my 1979 “Evening Star” is loco powered and not tender powered. Trying to convert it to DCC was interesting. There is an 8 pin plate at the front of the body. Ideal you would think for installing a direct fit chip into it. No way. I tried and got no where. I even took it to my normal supplier, he couldn’t get the chip installed. In the end he suggested that I contact Kevin at Coastal DCC in Ipswich. He said to use a tailed decoder of which I had a few, and place the decoder itself behind the smokebox door. That worked.
