#28 Heljan's Class 07 Shunter: Body Removal & DCC Fitting (Part 2)

Описание: In Part 2 of this mini-series examining Heljan's hotly-anticipated Class 07 0-6-0 diesel-electric shunter, we move on to removing the body and fitting a 6-pin DCC decoder.

Body removal involves the disengagement of some handrails and can be quite fiddly. On the version 2 variant with dual braking, additional brake pipes must be removed, and that can easily result in chipped paint.

It must be stressed that it is very easy to damage the model whilst removing the body, so please only do so if you're confident that you can do it well and that you have set aside good time to do it - don't rush!

Despite the finicky nature of the DCC installation process, it's still a wonderful model with some fabulous detailing and a decent (yet a little noisy) motor. The directional lighting is better than on Heljan's Class 05, but still fairly dim.
