Fitting a chip to an LGB 92079

[NigelP]

Hi, first post so I've missed anything, sorry.

I've got a LGB 92079 from an LGB starter set. Installing the lgb 55021 decoder is easy as its a 4 pin gearbox but the problem is where to mount the decoder. Most of the boiler is filled with the weight and unlike the Stainz in this guide http://www.waltonsofaltrincham.co.uk/guide-lgb-stainz.php the weight doesn't have a convenient cutout.

Has anyone installed a decoder into one of these and where did you stick the decoder?

TIA

Nigel

Never done one but it does look tight. Just a suggestion in the cab on the roof. And dont complicate it by adding sound

I'd suggest you trim down the weight, wrap in isulating tape and stick the decoder to this using a hot glue gun, worked for me!

Thanks for the replies. After spending most of the day studying it, I found room in thespace between the roof and the cab top. Just needed to drill one hole to feed to wires through and job done.
