Notes:
- Very easy to open: One large screw from the top.
- Space for IR receiver between the bogies.
- IR cable routing through a hole under the speaker compartment; the hole is large enough to feed the connector through.
- Plenty of space for a buffer capacitor (1000 µF): In this example, in the speaker compartment; alternatively, above the locomotive module.
- The buffer capacitor can be soldered to the CTC locomotive module before installation.
Conclusion:
- Very easy to open.
- Simple conversion.
- Conversion possible without soldering.
