Hi David , likewise too This was the best photo I took

Went to the Uckfield show yesterday from Dublin to see the Iain Rice layouts with a bonus to see Northport Quay and meet David with a fellow SDMRC member Clever solution for a refreshment while operating a layout in the second photo

Photo taken at Inchicore works ?

This speaker is too long for a Baby GM as you will have to shorten the PCB and if you are not confident in modifying/shortening the PCB then do not modify/shorten the PCB. The ideal speaker is the Baby Boomer which requires a small amount of filing the chassis/inside the hood and soldering the purple cables to the PCB marked SPK +/- . Polarity is not important in the Baby GM . The Murphy Models 121 sound decoder is ideal for the Baby GM.

Picture of the layout would help

The station reminds me of just outside Newcastle West heading for Castleisland. In the old days, just as you got over the long drive to the top of the hill driving towards Castleisland the station was in the cutting to your right hand side.

The late Alec Phillips former member of the MRSI passed away in the 1980’s. Back then Alec would you showed/explain to you on how to do the conversion but unfortunately it was never documented. Alec’s pride & joy was his scratch built GNRi 4-4-0 accompanied him on his heavenly journey.

Care to tell the forum where you got that information from “ the tooling is gone and needs redoing from scratch ” ?

A picture of both sides would paint a thousand words

Should you get a 141/181 in the future , I would suggest that you solder/hard wire the speaker cables to the PCB as shown in Flange Lubricator link / photo below. Yes , you can solder speaker cables to your sound decoder. I would not recommend to solder cables for speakers on the sound decoder as you will have to unsolder them in the future to fit the sound decoder in the A Class and also the sound decoder may get damaged aswell from the soldering which may also invalidate the warranty too. It should be interesting to a 141/181 as it is 12 cylinder instead of the 8 cylinder sound . I must try this on the next club night

There is no customs/VAT charges from the Mainland of Europe

A “ Baby Boomer” @ £10 speaker available from You Choos in the UK . Sound decoder from Murphy Models 121 567 or 645 depending on which 141 or 181 loco . You will have to trim inside the bonnet /chassis and chamfer the speaker top edges to fit inside the bonnet I have installed this combination in over 30 Murphy Models 142/181’s to date . Take your time installing and enjoy the sounds .

Hi Old Blarney No picture attached / showing

Hi Diarmuid I would suggest that you look at the NCE Powercab which is easy to to use , is expandable or the Roco Z21 which is expandable and you can use your smart phone/ wired controller / wireless controller. Joe
