You must dismantle the motor and replace the coil with a magnet ESU #51695: http://www.esu.eu/produk...behoer/permanentmagnete/ Then you can connect the motor to the decoder like any other DC-motor. That's the cheaper way. If you want to improve the behaviour and the decoder is useable for such motors you can also replace the motor with a FAULHABER - motor. SB - Modellbau delivers a conversion - kit: http://www.sb-modellbau...._id=378&cPath=258_19 Regards Markus

The magnet is a mild cludge with these motors as they are designed for the 80 and Henschel diesel rater then the 38 and 55. I have posted a note elsewhere in this forum about fitting it. They take a solid amp or so and a reasonable decoder is needed, the bulbs are 1.5v too so need careful interfacing or replacing. Let me know if you want more help. Graham
