- Part 2 of our diesel locomotive modifications, which enhance their lighting abilities.
For the Bachmann locos with two swiches on the underside, we used,
ESU 21 Pin LoKsound V5 Decoder,
UK Version 58449
21 Pin MTC "MKL"
DCC meets "Keep Talking and No-one Explodes" what's not to like! :o)
Always give an audible “yes” when you see another McKinley Railway video 😂🚂
0:59 + 4:35 58449 ... "mit Lautsprecher" = with speaker
without speaker edit: and with no utilities for sound would be 59649 - LokPilot 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4, 21MTC MKL
Sometimes it is just nice to have a short uncomplicated video to watch which is nevertheless full of useful information. Cheers, Bob
Glad it was helpful!
Quite a muddle in the Heljan locos and having to break the PCB tracks like that. I see that the rear White and Red lights loom is made of what seems to be an effective use of Dupont connectors. Though a bit bulky you got it to fit inside the gubbins of the loco shell, well done folks.
Part 1 was video 53 not 51 I believe?
Wow thats a great upload you done there hope to see more.
thank you for detailed video
Aw, that was a short one. 😩
Soldering first the extremity of the wire near to the plug would have made the entire job WAY easier, cleaner and better.
Great point!
My brain hurts - but I can bring donuts as well as biscuits
I always enjoy your videos. Being "electrically impaired" as I am, I'm still trying to figure out how the white wire on the board that had been severed twice can support a lead coming off the resulting "marooned" section. That explains how you are the person doing this, and I'm not. Great videos - each and every time. [long term subscriber]
Purple to Aux 2 -> "marooned" section" -> R-Taillights socket (on the other side of the board)
With all those aux, it's like Lord of the Rings
Always good to have some Auxilia(ry) to help you in the fight 😉
the solder connections you made to the dcc decoder pins are very poor. if you are going to do how to videos please learn how to make a good solder connection.
Hi Richard, Its quite hard soldering stuff down onto surface mount boards. I am always amazed how Pete manages to miss the adjacent pins. I'm not sure the quality of our soldering is any worse than some of the manufacturers results. Could I ask you have a go and post a video to show us how to get it better. That would be greatly appreciated and we could all learn from an expert.
