LGB Forney
Posted by johnandjulie13 on Saturday, December 2, 2006 5:35 PM

Has anyone else installed a MTS decoder into one of these engines.  I received my LGB club Santa Fe Forney today and I wasted four hours trying to get the decoder installed.  It does not appear to fit!  Any help and feedback would be truly appreciated.

I am also having trouble getting the engine back together.  The front end of the boiler will not line up with the back end of the boiler during reassembly.

Regards,

John O

John;

 I will not be of much help here, i have not tried to fit a decoder for the very reason that you have had problems with. I know my limitations and doing this sort of thing isn't what i am good at.
