Its one of the harder ones I've done! You need to take the motor out and mill the floor so its just thin enough not to go through, then you glue the motor right to the base of the model and the speaker can go above it, it takes quite a bit of milling and the speaker only just fits.

Sounds like theres a fine line between success and destruction!
I've since read that LMB don't reccommend the EM2 for the hymek, although I was impressed by your video?
What do you believe to be the best solution in terms of quality of sound on the Heljan hymek?

I offer an EM2 fitting service through roads-and-rails.co.uk and will do the complete job, but I have had a few people who have just asked me to do the milling and have sent me a chassis already stripped down. I just send it back ready to put back together.

 

So far I have done:

 

Bachmann: Warship, Deltic

Hornby: 50

Dapol: Western

Heljan: 27, 33, Hymek

 

That’s not to say I can’t so others, it’s just I’ve not got around to them yet. Next up will be a Bachmann 37,47 and 25 (if I can make it fit) and also a Hornby HST and 56.

 

I can get them done quicker than a lot of people because it’s my full time job. Prices vary because some need a lot more work than others.

Have you got any further details / images on what was involved in fitting the Heljan Hymek?
