#12 Lima Class 47 Loco Upgrade: Wiring a DCC Decoder to a Ringfield Motor (Part 1)

This is Part 1 of a mini-series looking at upgrades to an old Lima ringfield/pancake motor-driven Class 47 locomotive. The general principles will apply to most ringfield/pancake style models. In this video, we look at converting the analogue DC ringfield motor to DCC use, through the installation of a Hornby TTS decoder. The process is, however, exactly the same for non-sound decoders. It's vital that the decoder selected can handle current draw of the motor. There are various descriptions of how to work out the stall current online. Older ringfield motors, especially those not running well, may exceed the current rating of some decoders, including TTS sound chips. Please do take time to suss out the suitability of a chip before commencing installation.
