Nice demo on installing decoders in Kato sets!
Hi scott , thanks for the reply , your very welcome . stay tuned Geoff
So much fun to watch, and as a newcomer so helpful. Thank you
HI Bill , so pleased you enjoy . let me know if you need anything explained or a topic covered , Geoff
Geoff, loved the video. Interesting to watch the intricacy of inserting the various decoders. The videos have a great balance of various subjects, with regards to the hobby. Thanks.
Hi Stephen , thanks, very kind of you, much appreciated, Geoff
Great new additions to your layout thankyou for the tips and video
hi Mark , thanks for the reply , your very welcome . stay tuned Geoff
Hi Geoff we just needed Coldplay singing Yellow with the later running shots. Really like the Azuma just waiting for my 00 Celebrating Scotland version from hornby. Enjoyed the video again atb Andy
yes I wish I had thought of that , I could have used it for the running shots . I did see today the Hornby announcement. prices seen very high
@@flinthillsmodelrailway I agree Geoff very high I won't be rushing to pre order anything
Wow!! What a beautiful and quality set from Kato!!
We agree!
Super nice video 👍, good job.
Greetings Gert
Thank you very much! Geoff
First and foremost, thanks for this how to video. Very helpful and I am planning to get a HST and a Class 800 later. I have a Class 92 from Revolution Trains and two Class 60's from Bachmann/Farish in Colas and DB as 60096 and 60100. I used to have N scale many years ago but the sheer frustration of breaking couplers and inclines being the culprit. I gave it up in 2012 and moved to OO gauge. However thanks for the magnet couplers being more reliable. I am pleased to say that I am coming back to N gauge. The reason I bought 60096 in Colas tonight was because I have just passed my Coaching Accreditation course and I wanted to celebrate.
thats great News and welcome back to N Gauge . Ive just purchase the colas class 60 myself today . no tracking down a Next 18 decoder
Another excellent video Geoff 👏👏👏 I really find it fascinating to hear the back story of your Network Rail fleet 💛 with the addition of those lighting effects 💡 they really add a unique visionl to your layout 😇 Very best wishes from County Wicklow ☘️
Thanks Paul for those kind words
hi geoff
great how to fit the decoders in the class 800 and this has come in very handy as i have a gwr set on order and i will be dcc chipping mine.
great video again mate hope to see you soon at a exhibition.
hope you and the family are all well.

hi Mate , all good here thanks , Been very very busy , glad the 800 video was good , I'll be at the key model world on saturday
I’ve just bought Kato 800 off eBay track and all can’t wait to run DC but looking forward to DCC in time 😎 thanks for your review very helpful so glad I’ve subscribed to your channel or I would have missed this 👍
sorry for the late reply - i just found a load of messages that I didn't know I had, Sorry about that. thanks for the positive feedback
Hi great video cheers,I have a Azuma just trying to wait as patiently as I can for my doc 89 chips to arrive had them on order for ages,will be defo Following your instillation clip looks easy enough to following .👍
Hi and welcome to the channel, glad you found it of interest, good luck with the decoder installation
Great video, learnt a lot as new to n gauge and how to convert the driving units. (looking at putting DCC in a couple of Japanese bullet trains) Found your video very instructive and loved the gentle professional way you work. As a 70 yr old Pom living in Western Australia I am trying n gauge as do not have the room for my HO/OO stock! I know normally you go up a gauge as you get older but I’m a sucker for punishment!😅👍😎🇦🇺🇬🇧Subscribed.

Beautiful looking train might be tempted Geoff. Thanks for sharing your quality content as always 👍🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
hi Phil , thanks for those kind words
Normally with the sound conversions I’ll do it myself, confess though I’m going to get CR to do the conversion this time. They have an interesting approach, sound decoder will be one of the leading units, timed in sync with another ESU decoder within the power car.
hi Alan , a colleague at my club has just got the CR light and sound version . its very good plus has door lights as well
Hi Geoff, your the first model railway in N gauge I have subscribed to. I found it very interesting not having a model railway myself as I live in a one bedroom bungalow. I didn't think you could get at the loco's building's and scenic materials in N gauge. I don't know how big your layout is but your seam to have a lot going on in your diorama's. I wouldn't mind if you could show the station area and t m d area. Enjoy the videos I have seen so far and looking forward to some more.
Gary from County Durham.
Hi Gary , thanks for subscribing , I will add the station area and the TMD to the next video for you . the layout is made up of 2 boards both being 1.2m (4ft) long and 76cm(2ft 6") Wide , Cheers Geoff
Great video Geoff, Loved watching you installing the chips and lighting on the Azuma, I didn't realise ESU did a sound decoder to fit, I knew that you could get all the Kato equivalent chips by Zimo but I don't think they do the sound chip. The structure train was very interesting as I have thought about one in the future, but got so many other projects in the to do box, it'll have to wait. Like you I have also heard the Lais chips are copies to the point whereby the manufacturing code on the cv gives a code of a well known American brand. I will also only use them as function chips and tend to stick to Zimo for motor control. All the best Tony.
hi Tony , I believe Lais used the code from DDC concepts ie ZEN decoder. yes I stick to Zimo and the odd ESU as I use Railcom detection and commination for the loco's . good for changing CV's on the main track also . Geoff
good vid geoff on the layout keep up the good work on the layout
Hi from OZ, love what you have done,just wondering if you might extend Flint Hills and run around the room. Keep up the good work, Paul,I'm useing my son's Mark computer.
I’ve draw up a new layout for the room. I’ve started to purchase items and I hope to start on the new layout next year
Another great video Geoff. I have a few issues with my venture into iTrain and may email you later if that is OK.

Happy to help if I can. Geoff
I think there is a cover under the motor car that can be slid open to expose the decoder slot
Also, if you desoldered the wire, why not cut it to fit to size ?? :)
素晴らしい鉄道模型映像ですね、お見事です。

I just one on the model I have done the speaker which came with decoder is a couple mm to big, find it has pushed the carriage sides out and the end piece pushed out slightly, easy fix
yes its a very tight fit - glad to hear you have it all sorted Geoff
Nice video, just done the same installation, some how I can't get the train announcements, chip say I have to put cv155 to a function, using an ecos but can't see how it done
I have 2 sets of the 800 in gwr though I wish I got one of each now as the azuma livery is growing on me lol. One question do you need the light decoder to go with the light set or is it just for turning on and off? (without the decoder it just stays on?) Great vid I do apologize I am very new to the hobby
hi , the carriage lights just stay on without the decoder , I understand with the lighting Carriage decoder you can have effects like dimming and the flicker stat up, plus on and off , Geoff
Great video and nice layout Geoff. I may put sound in my Azuma at some point.Did you have any issues with the end lights showing the same colour. Also have learnt only use zimo chips.
Hi Roger , I have just checked and it can show the same colour if the decoder is inserted the wrong way around . Yes I agree I only use Zimo and the odd ESU for sound as I use Railcom on the layout to help with the Automation. I only us the cheap decoders for lighting Function . Geoff
Great video can you please tell me where you got your siund chip from i didnt know ESU did one thank you
Hi Geoff, thanks for this amazing video, as I am going to convert my class 800 pretty soon, what option did you pick on DCKits website to get the one in the video? Much appreciated!
HI , the one i got was the NLB-Class 800 IET (Kato Micro + Speaker) - Legomanbiffo N Gauge Sound Decoders Options: Micro + 2 A Lighting.. . Hope this helps . Geoff
@@flinthillsmodelrailway thanks a lot! Going to order mine now! Can't wait to get it soon
Question. I'm new to DCC. I have various different makes of n gauge trains like minitrx/ Kato that are DCC ready. Do they all use their own decoders and do they all work on various different DCC controllers on the market??
hi , They should all work on any DCC system . Each loco will State the decoder required ie Next 18 or 6 pin or 8 pin etc . some loco's will require a Unique decoder like the Kato Azuma . you should be able to look up each loco on the Web to see which decoder types it accepts . I personal stick to Zimo, ESU or train-o-matic Decoders .
Hi Geoff - great update. One question - the lights you fitted to the class 800 - do they also work on DC ? Layout looking really good scenic wise and the running session shows the layout off to a tee. Cheers Euan
Hi Euan , Ive just tested it on my DC only track , and the front and rear tails lights work , the coach lights work and sound works as well to my surprise. Geoff
Hi Geoff, really enjoyed your clip. I have a few Kato train set that I would like to put the Legomanbiffo sound decoders into. Where did you buy yours?
Thx, Rob
Hi Bob , sorry for the late reply - i just found a load of messages that I didn't know I had Sorry about that . I purchased mine from www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=221_251_229&product_id=2017
I noticed the sound on the 800 was the pantograph, does this decoder have a diesel option?
HI you can switch between the 2 options
Hi Geoff. I just love a Kato model - they are just such good quality. I have the Class 800 set in the green GWR livery but is basically the same model as the Azuma. Thank you so much for the video as it will make the installation kit I have ordered from Gaugemaster (if it ever arrives!). BTW: Where can I get the same orange/red tool you have for helping to remove the body from the chassis? Can you post a link to the ESU sound decoder, please?
Hi Paul, the orange tool I got as Part of a "opening pry tool" Kit . there are many different tools in the kit to help dismantle, Iphones and Laptops etc . just search on Amazon for opening pry tool. all the best, Geoff
@@flinthillsmodelrailway Found and ordered the kit - many thanks. And the ESU sound decoder, please?

Hello. Where did you get the orange piece of plastic from as I'm looking to install the led light system onto my lner azuma?
Thanks
I have various plastic items for opening items The orange plastic is called a Plastic razor blade - see amazon - www.amazon.co.uk/Multipurpose-Plastic-Scraper-Non-Scratch-Sticker/dp/B09XBT1YDC/ref=asc_df_B09XBT1YDC/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=589489701833&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1850001006748342840&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006500&hvtargid=pla-1675936352131&psc=1
Hi Geoff, my two azumas already have directional lighting on DC, do I need to install the head and tail light decoder for dcc?
Hi. I would say yes to make them DCC working which will allow you to turn them on and off via the decoder
just subscribed. My n gauge layout needs overhead gantry, I don't have the necessary eyesight to make one .A request ,no obligation would you be able to make a similar gantry for me.As having done one .i can give dimensions, about six tracks ftom a terminus ,one gantry would do.SAME HEIGHT.kato azuma trains with pantographs.
Hi thanks for the subscribing . i would love to have the time to make you one but im still very busy with work Hence not had the time to put many Videos out . Can I suggest you speak to N Brass Locos who make the Kits ring - 01384 250478. i would think he would be able to make it very easily for you
Hello, where can i buy the Class 800 dcc sound file?
Can you use coach lights on a dcc layout without decoders?
Yes indeed, not a problem, unlike the nightmare of getting the directional lighting decoder in to both units...
You csn pick up the decoders from japanese sites and some European...sorry EU for 10-12 quid each.
Yes I see the Japen Plazza site is very good .
