This is a tender install as there is no room in the boiler to fit a
decoder. The sides of the coal bunker must be raised by about 3mm to allow the decoder to fit comfortably.
Coal bunker with raised sides and new coal load
The piece of bent brass just slides under the plastic mount as the frame is used to pick up left rail power.
Place a small piece of Kapton tape across both contacts, just behind the front motor mount going from left to right. This is to stop any shorting between the left and right rail pickups (this is not shown in the picture by the way).
Add a small piece of PCB to connect the motor and pickup wires.
Remove both brush holders, cut the tabs down and solder the grey and orange wires to each tab.
Motor with pickups soldered to PCB.
Completed tender with raised coal bunker sides.
