Fitting R8249 decoder to R084 Princess Elizabeth

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a R8249 decoder to the R084 Princess Elizabeth?

I looked at the decoder installation instructions for a tender decoder installation but this it is for the "Flying Scotsman" and the wiring/connections are different. They are for a type 5 motor but the motor in the Princess Elizabeth is a type 6.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Stephen, welcome to the forums.

 

Google Brian Lambert and go to his DCC pages.  You'll find he has instructions for all types of ringfields. 

 

The important thing is to make sure there is no connection between the left hand brush holder and chassis.  If there is you'll find that you have a smoke generator in your tender, but only briefly.
