Well another project. This time a Realtrack Class 144 009 in WYPTA Metro / Arriva Red and Silver. Acquired from eBay as a non-runner.

After a lot of investigation this production run of a Realtrack 144 has a thin printed circuit board in the dummy car. Although working out which is the pin 1 on the 8 pin DCC socket isn’t clear.

Also found the motor car the red LED tail lights have failed. I have another 144 009 and the motor car on that one also has the same problem with red LED tail lights that have failed. 

To be continued…
