aramand Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Picked up this little guy today : Body is in excellent but looks like it hasnt been run in a while, wheels really need a clean and motor not running very well so probably needs to be stripped down. Anyone have experience on how these handle a DCC chip being put in (plenty of room in the body and I'm happy enough with the connections needed etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarabuses Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 You need to get the motor running well on DC before you install a chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Anyone have experience on how these handle a DCC chip being put in (plenty of room in the body and I'm happy enough with the connections needed etc) I have a couple of Lima locos that I have fitted DCC to and they run like a dream the only down side is they are noisy compared to more modern DCC ready locos.

WRENNEIRE Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Quick pic of the 3 different Lima A Class locos 215 on the right hand side is the original one, roof exhausts and black roof panel Centre is Murphys 015, Left hand one is another Lima issue. no roof exhausts IR logo smaller than the Murphy issue on the sides, and no running number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
