Digihat Conversion

This conversion follows the Graham Farish insulating bush (Digihat) method to isolate the lower motor connection from the chassis.

There isn't much space in the body on this model, but there is just about enough room for the smallest decoders to fit in the roof of the cab. The decoder used in this example was a Doehler & Haass PD10MU-3, with some Kapton tape to prevent anything touching the metal body. Another decoder that fits is the ESU LokPilot 5 Micro.
