Cut out the area for the speaker and made a speaker box to fit in the coal load area. I wouldn’t use anything other than an abrasive wheel or a heat to make the cut here. I tried to just drill holes but a few fractures occurred leading me to just cut it out with the Dremel. I chose the esu loksound v5 standard decoder for this install and the tcs 1697 speaker

Cutout an area for the motor and light wires to go through to the locomotive. Also drilled a hole in the front headlight with a 1mm drill and then a 1.5mm.

Installed the decoder and speaker box and drilled the holes to mount the shell to the frame. Also drilled a hole for the backup light.

Put the fastening screw from the tender floor to the shell, used a screw from an atlas or Kato frame half.
To get the shell to sit at the correct height I had to remove the rearmost frame tabs that hold the stock light board in and lightly filled the sides of the frame until the shell sat flat on the chassis. Doesn’t need a lot of filing at all. Looking at pictures of the engine trailing truck to side sheet distance and tender curvature to cab I think I’m pretty close.     I got some smd led and resistors so I’m going to install the lighting next |
