Nice video, thanks for sharing...Tony

Would like to see a video of the install of the sound decoders

[@christopherlong2301]

Hey Shane. Just wondering how difficult an install this was? Did you have to mill the frame and where did you place the speaker? I have a Kato CB&Q ABA set to go with my California Zepher cars and would love to put ESU decoders in them. Thanks

[@thebrakeman17]

It's not hard at all. No milling anywhere. Place the decoder at the rear, remove the "cab interior" and place a sugar cube speaker there and wire LEDs to the nose.

What happen to my comment. I am working on Silver Streak Zephyr which just got release and I need to know how you installed the Mars light

[@thebrakeman17]

Not sure if I saw the original comment. Anyways, I take the light tubes out and cut them free from each other. Using canopy glue, I adhere LEDs to the back of the tubing and use heat shrink and liquid electrical tape to prevent light bleed into the shell. Then a small dot of CA to install the lens with LED attached back to the shell and wire them to the decoder.
