Classic UK Minitrix Models  -  N209 Evening Star
9F DCC Boiler Mod

I attempted to fit the chip inside the tender, but the bulk of the 4 wires and the connections and insulation made routing of the wires difficult. Instead, a removed sections of the boiler weight. I used a hacksaw, a Stanley knife, a grinding wheel and a steel file. The knife is very effective at shaving the soft metal.

I don't recommend this method. My later, improved version 2 is much easier.
