Description

You want to use your Carrera Digital 143 with 4 to 6 cars and all other features from Digital 132/124 then converting a CU is the first step!
I broke up the adapter into 3 parts as it was too big to fit on my build plate. One screw did not go in at the end as there is a slight offset but it was good enough to use it and I did not spend any further time. If that's an issue for you, please go ahead and improve it (and give me a shout).

Basic Instructions:

  1. Print out all 3 parts (1, 2 and bottom)
  2. Detach road and bottom plate from original CU
  3. De-solder contacts from road
  4. Screw on part 1 and 2
  5. Solder new start/road from Carrera Digital 143
  6. Screw on bottom part.

    Don't forget to also convert the controllers, they need a RJ-11 jack and some sanding to fit into the CU. I'm sure you can find some instructions online.
