Both Land Rovers are now fully prep’d ready for fitment of the digital decoders.

1/ dual 1mm holes drilled in both chassis.
2/ IR LEDs fitted and secured with black hot glue.
3/ LED wiring fitted under the motor, emerging on the port side.
4/ yellow/green silicone wiring fitted at pick-up.
5/ red/black silicone wiring fitted to motor while retaining the 100nF noise suppression capacitor.

Next step will be to install a digital decoder into each car. This could be a new style C8516 with black casing and four pin socket removed. In my case I will use my slightly smaller decoders which also include lighting circuits for brake lights.

I’m looking forward to some digital racing with this unlikely pair whose classic design goes back to the late 1940’s.
