COLE project 1. Saga of an LMS 3F for the S&D.
She left the erecting workshop in 2005 and entered the paint shop coming out in BR colours and sporting all the additions of an S&D lady, namely front sandboxes and correct tender.
Now in 2014 she returned to the workbench for evaluating....There is just enough room for a Zimo MX648R Decoder and sugar cube speaker behind the backhead providing she is well insulated against shorting out, particularly across the speaker terminals.....
Hard wiring is quite safe providing everything is protected against shorting out, which I learnt the hard way whilst doing a Heljan Class 33, when the speaker dropped down inside the body onto the metal motor housing...... £ 83 gone up in smoke... I made that 16 packets of cigarettes and I dont smoke!!!!!!
The exciting bit is putting it all together and closing the lid........
Hey Presto!!! An old Gal with an LMS 3F soundfile from Digitrains which has transformed her performance so much......Now to save me pennies now that I`m a pensioner and do the same for my LMS 2P, S&D 7F, Ivatt 2-6-2........
