Modelling Tip Of The Day – 44

This Modelling Tip Of The Day is an ongoing series, in which we’ll be posting a modelling tip that may be of use to the newbie right up to the seasoned modeller. Today’s tip is:

Plan Your Sound

If installing DCC sound decoders & speakers in your locos, take your time & plan ahead how you’ll carry out the installation. Look for online guides & books that cover installing DCC sound. Speak to the DCC sound specialists who offer invaluable advice on what speakers will or won’t fit in your locos. As well as what speaker is best for the job & your budget.

Take your time during the installation of the speakers/decoders, rushing the job could mean you miss useful positions for speakers & wires. Nothing is worse in rushing a job & finding wires getting trapped or fouling the drive mechanism of a loco.
