44 ton

[kamerad47]

Here is a something I've been working on & off for a little while A 44 ton for switching the transload yard. I cut the footboards off painted the hood ,roof , walkway & railings engine black & also installed a digtraxx decoder in it. I'm a sound addict & really want sound in it but, I don't know?? been thinking about making a sound box for it since it's in a small area I use it??? I'll have to think about it !!! & My layout story is the PRT got a GOV $$$ to install 2 tier III Cummins Diesels for certified clean air !!

Looks like it will be a tight fit for sound.

I installed sound in a "one motor" 44ton switcher some years go. The ESU Loksound micro and the smallest of their speakers fit under the hood just fine. One side the decoder and the speaker over a truck under the other hood.
The Bachmann PCB was replaced by a smaller one just to hold the cable connections. The decoder had no socket. All wires hard soldered to the PCB.

Two examples how others did it
