I see that somebody has already offered €300 for it. Insane. And, I say that as somebody with no common sense and no impulse control. 1 Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 No, and a hard one to hardwire because of its split chassis The key to converting a split-chassis model to DCC is to isolate the chassis from the motor terminals. Split-chassis models rely on the motor terminals pressing against the chassis directly, to get power from the track, but DCC needs to intercept this connection and place the decoder between the pickups and the motor. 1 2 Quote

Expand If you are patient and persistent, Steve from Railtec will deliver the goods if you provide him with decent examples, preferably with something for scale reference, like the known height of the buffer beam.
