 The completed install. This must be a new record for me: Two successful decoder installs in four weeks, nothing dead or fried. The Skyliner motor car is, thankfully, a straightforward install with only minor gotchas. Now, to find the funds for another Z2 to complete the second cab car! 
 A Keisei AE100形, headlights blazing. Ok, yeah. I said my next DCC conquest would be my Kato 651系 “Super Hitachi”. I lied. Besides, I said that, what, six months ago? I don’t have the necessary decoders on hand to continue work on it, but I did have the necessary decoder for this model, the Micro Ace A2896 Keisei AE100形 “Skyliner”. What makes this model challenging is that the headlights and the markerlights are not lit by distinct LEDs, but by a single bi-polar bi-color LED—a single monolithic LED that cannot be split apart into two distinct circuits for control by two distinct motor leads. Read on to see how I got it working.  Keisei “Skyliner” on the Ikea Line Prior to Fathers’ Day ’09, I had but two small Micro Ace sets. My review was not particularly flattering. Indeed, neither was anyone else’s. I enjoy the two sets, but I must admit I was a little soured on Micro Ace. But, as others have constantly reminded me, Micro Ace has a reputation for making models of extraordinary quality. So I thought I would give them another go. Now I own another Micro Ace set. The Micro Ace A2896 “Keisei AE100-class “Skyliner” Renewal 8-car set” is brilliant. |
