In Part 2 of the 56 Project I take the Mainline 56 & fit a DCC harness and decoder. This is very much a beginners guide to how I go about converting this 1980's DC loco to DCC - please let me know in the comments if you found it useful.
Products Used:
Lais DCC Decoder Chip 860021 - NEM 652 8 Pin +Fn2 wire
Lais DCC 8 Pin Harness - NEM 652 860001

Very good tutorial. All my locos are DC but I have a DCC controller and one chip plus a number of older locos. Your information and tutorial made it easy to understand. Thanks for sharing. It came up in my search for converting older locos. Cheers Charlie

Absolutely brilliant video and presentation. Explanation and diagram perfect to the point, I see you removed the bulb which makes it easier to see all the main wires for the decoder harness. thank you so much, now to attempt to try my 56 conversion to DCC.

Hi Dalip, thank you very much for your kind words. I hope the video can be some help to you and good luck with the conversion. I really need to get my skates on and do the next video in this project - I still need to fit some led lighting and weather the model. Take care & all the best.......Andy

Absolutely brilliant vid! Andy, simply explained. I've only re-soldered lights and pick ups but never tried from scratch ( I've a touch like an elephant) One of the most straight forward vids out there, well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 All the best, Darren.

Thanks Darren, i attempted to make this one as clear as possible - my HST motor upgrade wasn't really detailled ( it was a bit basic) so I spent a bit of time to make this one better. Thnks for your positive feedback, much appreciated.

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate Hi Andy! Finally got the 56 wired to the 8 pin decoder now i have Both lights at both cab ends working at the same time? i took out the diode on the bulb wires maybe that was the problem your 56 was different from mine too I had two wires from the rear bogie as opposed to your one black wire I also had the red wire on the front motor bogie ( yours was black) I'll use my mobile to take photos the next time. I seen the lighting wires on the diagram but puzzled as the 56 has the headlight plus the two lights near the buffers running constantly green wires etc now back into it!

Hi,will this work in my Lima class55 deltic. I want to convert it to tts sound. Great informative video!
@Andy-SharlstonEastgate
@Andy-SharlstonEastgate Жыл бұрын
Hi Jed, yes, it will. Just check if your Lima motor has a capacitor across the motor contacts, if it has you will be best to remove it first. Otherwise this method will work perfectly for a TTS chip. Any problems drop me an email. Regards, Andy
