Schuie52 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi would be grateful if somebodd can tell me as to what parts are required to power the dummy car on the Eurostar as I have to fit a decoder and also lights as there seems no contacts to the wheels or tracksthanksmichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I don't have a Eurostar and the service sheets (DCC ready and non DCC) are not as clear as they could be, but as you have had no replies so far let me throw this suggestion into the ring. I would look at the power car to see if the leading bogie has pickups (it seems to have wires to it). Then compare chassis fittings to see if it would fit in the dummy car in lieu of the standard bogie, then its a case of wiring in a socket per the usual pattern and colours, then wire in the lights following the standard logic from the socket. If that plan looks good then that would give you a parts list of a decoder socket and a leading bogie from the power car and some wires, plus the lights, either using power car parts or your own leds and resistors.

Schuie52 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi rob that's the thought I was going down it seems that looking at the bogies from both cars look the same and as you say one has pick ups regardsmichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
