I recently installed a Rx, on/off switch, and charging jack from RCS Australia, a 12v, 2000Mah NiMh battery pack from All-Battery, a couple of LEDs for headlight and rearlight, and a MyLocoSounds sound board in my 4-6-0. It sound is pretty good, but I do have a question.
Should I enlarge the slots cut in the bottom of the tender to allow more sound and less vibration? The slots appear to be done by the molding process and I was thinking maybe running my Dremel thru them a few times to let more sound out. Good idea or bad?
I placed a plastic cover (it's was actually a cut down plastic hamburger press/mold). It's not air tight, just sitting over the speaker with some electrical tape holding it in place. Should I run a bead of hot glue around it to make it air tight and secure? This may be where the vibration is coming from.
The 12v battery provides plenty of power for the engine, I haven't run any tests to see how long it will run on a full charge though.
