I used the Hornby 8215 at the time, as it was cheap on eBay. The Hornby 8249 has superceeded this model. For this task, I'd recommend starting with the motor cab and installing the headlight and motor decoder. I'd also recommend using a smaller function decoder for the trailer. The wiring I used in between probably wasn't flexible enough. I'd also recommend starting a thread in the JNS Forums (http://www.jnsforum.com/) as there is a good community there for assistance too. Peter, am happy to help as much as I can…

Which decoder did you use? I'm new to model railroading (as an adult) and purchased the kirara 900 right off the bat as my first engine along with Kato's M1 starter set. I quickly decided to go digital and have gone the Digitrax route. But now I need to install a decoder in the 900 and am running into probelms. Perhaps you could help...? Very cool.
