Hi Nick

Looks good , are you finding the HO easier to work with?

Hi Nick

At least there is plenty of room in HO Loco's for sound
I'm just about to do a sound install in one of my Favourite Loco's , mind you I don't have the decoder yet
and I'm out of Isolated backplates as well , but I do have a few ESU speakers to play with
I just wonder whether to hook them up 2 in series or 2 in parallel

Regards Zmil

Hi Nick

You should be able to fit a reasonably large speaker in a cattle car. The Thing to be careful of is Having the Sound decoder on with no speaker by accident. Even if you fit a small speaker in the loco somewhere maybe a good idea.

I'm not sure if the Sound decoders have any protection for the Amplifier output in case of speaker failure or no speaker present.

Hi Nick

If the speaker is accidentally not connected to the sound decoder (by unplugging etc ) it may damage the Amplifier in the decoder

I could be wrong though , there may be a protection circuit built in . But better to be safe than sorry
