DCC Fitting & Conversion Service

We provide a professional DCC conversion service, specializing in N Gauge models made by Graham Farish, Minitrix, Dapol, Kato, Union Mills and Tomix. We can also convert other scales including OO Gauge.

The cost of upgrading to DCC depends on the complexity of the conversion. Newer models marked 'DCC Ready' are usually straightforward, whereas older models take longer and sometimes involve modifying the chassis or electrical arrangement.

Custom or scratch-built models such as those made by N Brass Locomotives, GEM and others can also be converted. The process is similar to that of the Graham Farish chassis they are based on.

Many of the guides you see on our website are from conversions we've completed for our customers. Check out our videos page for more examples.

All DCC conversions include:

• Pre-conversion health check
• All parts required for the conversion (except the decoder)
• Conversion of directional lights (if present)
• Test run video on our dedicated test track facility
• Programming to a Loco ID of your choice
• 3 month return to base warranty

We can recommend and supply decoders to fit, or you are welcome to supply your own.

If room inside the loco body permits, we can optionally install a socket rather than having the decoder permanently hard-wired in. This means you can insert and remove any decoder, and even convert back to DC with a blanking plug of required.

For all orders, a pre-conversion test run is performed on DC to make sure it is a good runner. Poor runners on DC can lead to reliability issues when converted. If it is not deemed a sufficiently good runner for conversion, we will contact you first as many running issues can be resolved.

No upfront payment is required! You pay only when the work is complete and you are happy with the test video we'll send you. Locos will be returned by a Royal Mail tracked service, covered up to at least the average second-hand value of your loco.

All locos will be returned in the same packaging you sent them to us in, so please make sure it provides adequate protection.
