I installed a Micro Tsunami with the Cummins Diesel sound set that was originally intended for use in a GE 44-tonner.  So, my Doodlebug represents one that had its gasoline motor replaced and upgraded with a Cummins diesel.  The decoder itself was mounted on the plastic "shelf" above the motor.  I placed a mini-oval speaker and enclosure in the passenger compartment near the bulkhead to the baggage area.  I had to trim the floor/seat insert slightly to make room for the speaker/enclosure.  I trimmed the first 3 rows of seats but retained the outer portion of them nearest the windows.  I disguised the speaker by placing seated passengers in the seats adjacent to it.  I also changed the headlight to use a brighter 0602 surface mount LED and added a working rear headlight.

Good luck,

Tom
