Good Morning everyone, Apologies for the late reply but unfortunately work has a habit of getting in the way. Thank you to all those who replied to my question, your advice is very much appreciated. Regards Ron

Hi Nick, Thank you for your advice, I will remove the offending items as I will not be removing the sound decoder once fitted. I can only assume that the early decoders that were used 15 years ago required them to be fitted. Regards Ron

Hi, I am currently in the process of updating my 15yo Bachmann DCC fitted Cl25 with the intention of fitting lights & sound. I have pulled the motor in order to fit a speaker in the tank and have found a mass of resistors & capacitors attached to the motor, see attached photo. I am planning to use a salvaged V4 sound decoder and would like to know if it's safe to remove the resistors and capacitors from the motor. I have looked at some of my newer loco's and the motors do not have all the c**p that this one has. Thank you Ron

Thank you for the response, I was aware that some were used on what I thought was coal traffic to Methil Power Station, didn't know it was coal slurry. I was hoping they might have been used at Ravenscraig or Hunterston, so if they haven't been used on scrap metal trains I shall be offloading the wagons.

I am in the process of putting together suitable rolling stock for a layout based in Scotland, 1988/1989 era. I have about ten SSA/POA scrap wagons but despite trawling through the internet I cannot find any reference to these wagons being used to haul scrap metal within the Scottish Region, can anyone advise me if these wagons were used in Scotland for moving scrap metal. Thank you
