RMweb Premium Ray H Posted January 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2018 Has anyone fitted a sound decoder to a Bachmann BR standard 3MT 2-6-2T and, if so, where did you mount the speaker? There appears to be room in the front of the boiler for a small speaker. It also looks as though there is room in the cab/bunker subject to a bit of plastic surgery. I'd be interested to know what others have done. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-H Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi I did it on mine and from memory the hard wired decoder went in the boiler and a sugarcube type speaker sat were the 8 pin socket used to sit. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted January 11, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks for that and apologies for not acknowledging your post sooner. I took the body off mine the other day and there appears to be scope to increase the space under where the decoder sits. I'll order a decoder with harness and a small sugar cube. Thanks once again.

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted January 18, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2018 I managed to fit the Zimo MX648 decoder in the boiler with the YouChoos curved enclosure speaker atop the decoder after I had drilled a hole in the chimney to allow the sound to escape that way as well. On reflection I could probably have fitted a more conventional speaker into the boiler as the curve part of the enclosure of the one I fitted, which I'd thought might fit against the inside of the boiler barrel (hence the curve), is on the relatively flat side of the decoder body.
