After a year and a bit, the voyager appears!

Well, I got the Elite a year and a bit ago now, and have had the voyager for 2 years. I havn't bothered to look up fitting the voyager with decoders as it needs 3, 2 in each end for the lights, 1 for the motor in the middle, but turns out its easier than it seems!

Now fitted with a decoder for the motor, ill fit the lighting ones when I get some more decoders and work out how to get the body off.....

Pictures to follow! :)
