I did this a few years ago. I followed the instructions here:

using the TCS M1 decoder as suggested. I had been using that decoder previously.

Hi Tony & many thanks, I 'm not going to take that on ever, no matter how easy it seem's, but I'll get it done, with sound some time early next year, getting it fitted with speaker shouldn't be too difficult, ?????? should it!!!! I have one with a decoder fitted, so getting sound should not pse too big a problem!!

I have fitted DCC Loksound soundchips to two of Murphy Models N Class locos. There is room in the coal tender to fit an 8-pin socket, sound chip and a Bass Reflex speaker (facing down to the track). I even managed two LED oil lamps on front which work regardless of direction of travel! I used the sound project from Southwest Digital which is quite impressive with a coasting feature. A third MM N Class I fitted with a non-sound chip. No room unfortunately for smoke units but these can be difficult to get to work properly.

Nice job, any photos of that N class? I have four that I will want to add at least a chip or sound and some lighting to eventually

Anyone managed a firebox in an N?

I'll put together a video with Eamonn once Ballybeg is reassembled (in the garage at present while the railway room is repainted!).
