Oh My Goodness!!!
THis could get really fun!
So I install the Lenz N decoder in a train motor, leaving the 2x2 contact plate
alone (still connected to the wheel pickups)
Just soldered the pickups to the chip, and the chip to the 9v motor in the train
motor housing (easiest conversion to date, btw :) )
And then I put the motor on the track. Test it--works just fine--no lights
yet--presumably I'll work on it.
Anyway, then put hte accessory block on the housing, and run a regular 9v wire
from the DCC accessory block to the 2x2 electric plate on the train housing.
Attach a regular 9v motor to the variable speed function on the accessory block,
then put the whole thing on the track.
Start up the train motor so it's coasting along the track, then start the 9v
motor.
It all works! Pics in a bit!
Now I can make that train crane better :)

| (...) Well I was thinking of not actually installing the decoder in the motor - here's my idea: 1. Cut through the conductors under the 2x2 connector on the motor. 2. Connect the power pickups to 2 of the contacts, the motor to the other 2. 3. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) I was thinking exactly this type of scenario at work today--getting a train motor and taking out the motor--just use the contacts--but then I figured that maybe I'll adapt one of my motors so that the 2x2 electric plate stays directly (...) (21 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)
