Fitting Decoder to Heljan 07

[Spamcanman]

This is a superb model by Heljan of the Class 07 Ruston & Hornsby diesel shunter, which was originally placed into service at Southampton Docks. As an OO model it is necessarily petite but nevertheless bears many very tiny detail parts. I am in the process of fitting the 6-pin decoder required and am finding several of the very small parts very vulnerable. Some are metal (handrails) but others are plastic and I have so far broken one of the tiny air horns on the cab roof, disloged one of the cab handrails, one of the front handrails and one of the sanding pipes! And I thought I was being careful as advised by the Heljan instruction sheet.

Lovely model, but it would be most welcome if Heljan would supply them DCC Fitted.
