Bill--how does the sound "get out" of the loco? I thought most people put the speakers in the tender--I like your idea better!

Just when you think you have it all figured out something you didn’t see hits you. I use RailMaster speakers only. For my locos I have used only the DLG8. It just would have not fit without chopping the already small boiler weight in half. That in itself **could be fun** because I can use my milling machine! So I settled on the DBH23-8 which still JUST fit. Anyway the surprise was I had to move the boiler weight towards the cab for the speaker to fit so a bigger boiler weight would be tough too. I am used to big Belpaire fireboxes. The Tsunami does not fit on top of the motor. It is in the middle of the boiler now. It is way tight running in spite of giving it a good lube job. This is the first time ever I have seen a gear box like this one. It is SOLDERED shut! There are no screws holding it together. You cannot get to some of the internal gears! Here is the a quick n dirty clip of its first run http://youtu.be/mr6Ms35FBUs It is likely to be a temporary clip so catch it while you can. I mostly made the clip to show my customer it is done and running.
