So I removed the spacer/pin guide and was able to push the decoder all the way down onto the adapter. Coal load able to close now.

Next up will be to make a connector to run the wiring to the loco. I need 6 wires to go forward. Still looking for a suitable connector to fit on that step.

Found that a 1.25 mm pitch JST 6 pin connector will fit, so found it on the jungle site and ordered it. The kit comes with a whole bunch of other sizes, so hopefully, this will be the last kit I need to buy.
 


Got the speaker mounted temporarily for fitment. I almost made a mistake and made the shroud too deep. That would have basically sealed the speaker against the bottom. I ended up giving it 2 mm of clearance to the bottom so that the sound can propagate. Otherwise, I'd have to drill out a lot of holes in the bottom plate and the bottom of the tender. Both of which are doable.

I tested the speaker with a sound decoder and it sounds great.
