Opening and fitting a DCC Concepts Zen decoder to a Bachmann Derby Lightweight DMU. Look out for the second video that shows fitting the second decoder to the non-motorised half of the unit.

Greetings Nige.... having just bought one of these thought I would try to find a "how to", great to see the use of proper solder good old RS. Thanks for the info and thanks for sharing... it looks a challenge.....cheers...steve

It really is a superb model, but fitting the chips was a challenge but well worth it. It would be great to fit sound to it - what a challenge that would be. My RS solder is a relic from my days as an electronics engineer, still works well after all these years !

You need the micro Zen for those transverse Bachmann 8 pin sockets! Just a few $$ more

I would hate to fit sound to that.
You would think Bachmann would make it easier to fit.

+William Glover It was tough enough fitting the keep alive pack with the decoder let alone a speaker.
