Darklighter Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is Kato's C56 (2020-1) true to scale? Is it hard to install a decoder? Link to comment
VJM Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yes, the new design C56 is scale 1/150. Toyoyasu's teardown of the C56 shows that there's no room in the boiler at all, but you can get a very small decoder into the tender. http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~toyoyasu/c56ktn_4.htm Otherwise, it is possible, an example here... http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/slmouja/39581411.html Link to comment
westfalen Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Dead easy compared to some installations. I followed the last example above but used a TCS Z2 which is a bit narrower. Link to comment
Darklighter Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks a lot! I think this might become my first steamer. Link to comment
NEX-989 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 can the C56 be driven on the kato CV1? Link to comment
NEX-989 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 to answer my own question Yes the kato C56 is capable of going through a 150mm Radius! Link to comment
