Murphys Cl 201 Chips

[Sulzer201]

Hi lads,

Excuse my ignorance. I want to convert a Murph 201 from analogue to DCC but I don't want to pay the full whack for the Murph Chip. I know this topic has been broached before but would anyone have any suggestions - As you can see I'm totally in the dark with this stuff. I have posted pics of the loco and a Bachy chip - of the type I'm hoping to fit and get away with. The pic of the loco roof hatch open and showing the connection base for the chip - can anyone confirm is the base here ready to receive a chip or is it a blanking plate cover. Again, apologies for such basic questions but would greatly appreciate any advice. I was due to be in Wexford and Eamonn was going to help but due to a death in the family, on the wife's side, I could not get down. Thanks all in advance. Tommy.

Its the blanking plate.

 

Prise it up carefully and you will see the actual socket, then pop in the chip!

Thanks Stephen and Anthony wasn't sure if it was the blanking plate and was afraid to try any pressure. Thanks Eamonn I will give you a buzz when I get the kids asleep near 9ish? if Ok. I'm entertaining them as wife at a wake. Regards, Tommy.
