jane1707819582 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 yes your loco can be converted ,you need to identify which type of motor you have ,if you have two wires connected on to the motor ,some motors use the chassis as a return path ,this type need isolating from the chassis.

96RAF Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 This shows a typical tender drive conversion https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/hornby-dcc/decoder-installation-guides/tender-drive-flying-scotsman-decoder-installation But as jane says you need to confirm your ringfield motor type as there are several with subtle differences in how they get converted.Brian Lamberts web site DCC pages cover the variants very well.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Heninghem Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 HiMany thanks for both your quick replies.I hope to get chance over the bank holiday weekend to carry out the conversion.The paperwork that came with the train says that it is a type 5 ringfield motor so I will use that as my starting point.Once again, many thanksMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
