Title: KATO 11-110 DCC
Post by: Tony Robinson on September 06, 2020, 14:21
I have successfully adapted the Kato 11-104 for DCC and fitted it with sound and stay alive in my Co Donegal railcar. It would like to adapt the new version of this chassis, 11-110, to DCC but cannot see how to dismantle it. Has anyone achieved this?
Thanks Tony

Just discovered how to do it after searching for information for some time. David Hurst has images of it with the cover off on his blog from August. If anyone is interested here is the link http://modelengineworks.blogspot.com/2020/05/009-morris-j-rail-van.html

There's a thread over in the other place on how to disassemble the new kato chassis:

Thanks. I've got it apart now and can see how to adapt it for DCC. Not too difficult once you can see where the body splits and how the whole thing is constructed.
