Graham Farish Class 3F 'Jinty' DCC Conversion
Mistakes may damage your locomotive, controller or other accessories. Use a multimeter to make absolutely sure you have completely isolated the motor from the track before testing. Always use the Programming Track for testing. Our guides are provided for reference only, and you proceed entirely at your own risk. Unsure about something - try our DCC Conversion Service instead.

There isn't much space in the body on this model, but there is just about enough room for the smallest decoders to fit in the roof of the cab. The decoder used in this example was a Doehler & Haass PD10MU-3, with some Kapton tape to prevent anything touching the metal body. Another decoder that fits is the ESU LokPilot 5 Micro.
