- Hello and Welcome to episode 100! of Trash to Track
In this 100th episode we take a look a Fleischmann DB 2-6-0 loco that i picked up at Spalding toy and train fair. These models with this type of motor are deemed ‘DCC Incompatible’, but i like a challenge so lets see if i can change that.
Thank you all for supporting Trash to Track over the last 100 episodes! Heres to many more.
Thanks for looking.

She's a beauty...a very entertaining video..thanks.
Very clever modification, impressed, pete
Congratulations Dan on your 100th video, looking forward to to the next 100! The Fleischmann looks to be a well built loco, well done on the conversion.
A BR 24, Steppenpferde, ( prairie horse they were known as) it is possible to buy LED bulbs to replace the bulb in the locomotive. The light from the bulb is usually transferred by clear plastic Lichtkorpe ( like fibre optic) when Hornby originally introduced the 9F, they bought a Fleischmann BR50 to see how they were powered. I have 3 Marklin variations of this loco 2 new MFX versions and one with a Delta Digital Chip.
Hi Dan.
What a beautiful looking loco. Brilliant job with the electrics.
How impressive is that run in the garden.
Just did a vlog on that city of Leeds I bought from you.
Thanks Dan.
....Pete....
Congrats on the 100th episode.
A great job on the motor conversion to allow DCC.
Dear Sir,
I bought an old Fleischmann locomotive and, despite having made a lot of research, i don't know even how to remove the cover to access the motor. Your video will probably be very helpful and now i'll try to service it. Thanks!
Cheers fro Brazil!
Hi Dan. Congratulations on your milestone: 100 not out!
Your videos inspire, inform, and entertain. Great stuff!
Thanks for fixing my St Catherine & 2 9Fs along the way. I'm sure I'll be requesting your help before long once again.
Cheers Stephen 👍🏻
Congratulations on 100. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to the Friday evening video.
A brilliant job, Dan, as usual. Congratulation on a really fine model railway channel.
Congratulation to the 100. episode, well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well that was a fantastic job . And I will be sending my 42xx over to you next month . I would have done it sooner but . My controller got damaged .
Great video. Very interesting. I have worked on plenty of the old Hornby "Fleischmann motors" Fleischmann weren't wrong to say Hornby copied their motor. It's basically identical. No wonder Fleischmann weren't happy with Hornby. This loco looks bullet proof. Congrats on 100th video.
The one here is the kind of updated version with a larger support bearing on the faceplate and the fixing screws inside of the circumference. The most recent version of the faceplate (made of PCB material) even has a DCC plug fitted
Congratulations on your 100th video I've got lenz decoder's in the few Fleischman LOCOs and they work fine
I ve worked on quite a lot Fleischmann Locos and ive never seen such a clean Motor.
Lovely train, the old black locomotive and the green German carriages!! Personally, I no longer go abroad for holidays. I stay in England, visiting different towns and cities around the country. So I could be described as chauvinisticaly British.
This method is a great find for the one faceplate type that is not available with isolated brush holders (which is quite common on the older locomotives with limited height.
For anyone who wants to do an attempt on these motors, you need at least 750ma continuous especially with longer trains. Assume that anything not plastic is live even if there is no visible pickup present.
9:06 Usually the big contact pad is on the rear axles, as there is no room at the front due to the cable to the lamp.
If you want to have working lights and keep the original bulbs: ignore the blue wire, as that is the same as the chassis (which is the screw that holds the socket). Mount the front light wire to the side of the socket.
If you manage to get hold of a faceplate with a built-in 6 pin connector you will have to cut in the weight or get a Fleischmann specific decoder.
Some of these have lamps that are glued in with some kind of brown glue or wax that makes it impossible to remove the lamp... heating the brown blob will melt it enough to remove it.
Are you running 00 or N Gauge? My Dad’s Army layout is running both via an ANEMODEL LD101 controller with switching for DC and DCC.
Do you run mostly European locomotives, or do you do mainly British? All my locomotives are Southern steam locomotives, the biggest being a Wainwright C Class.
No, just 1 or 2 european models then run on the outside ‘preserved line’. Like the Nene. valley had when i was younger
