Digihat Conversion

This conversion follows the Graham Farish insulating bush (Digihat) method to isolate the lower motor connection from the chassis. The best place to fit the decoder is in the cab, although there is also plenty of room inside the tender. Models that this guide covers include:

Remove the tender by unclipping the draw bar. Turn the loco upside down, and undo the screws nearest the front and back of the loco.

Using your finger through the back of the cab, gently push the chassis from the rear towards the front of the loco. This should release the chassis. Put the dolly wheels and other parts to one side for now.

There is plenty of space on the footplate to house the decoder, or alternatively you can wire it into the tender.
