RETIRED GUY PROJECTS

[Kusojiji]

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.

Hi Kriegslok.
I wonder how you manage to put videos on the forum. I am curious.
Thank's beforehand.

Wow !

The space that I have is roughly 4 mm x 10 mm. The 6 pin JST connector (male) is 3 mm x 9.5 mm. I'll paint it black to help it disappear.

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.

videos on the forum

One way is to copy the video's link and paste it directly into the post. It would be cool if you could share your videos that you put on youztube.

Hi Kriegslok.

Thank's beforehand.

Under each video there's a "share" arrow, press that and a screen will pop out with options to share. The easiest way is to copy the "link". Then come back here, post a comment and, space, and hold the screen with your finger, the link you saved earlier will pop up, press once on the link and it will transfer here.
