Install in a P2K S-3?

(1/4) > >>

CPRail:
Has anyone attempted to install a LM-#S module in a P2K S-3 (ideally with a speaker)? I'm looking at mine and I think it'll fit, especially if I cut down the iPhone4 speaker and do some minor chassis grinding.

Of course, I'd rather not be the pioneer here...

KPack:
C'mon Ian, take one for the team!  ;D

jimw:
I'll second that.  It would be really helpful to see some photos and comments about your approach.  I've been trying to solve a similar tight installation in an SD7 (my first), but I think yours is probably even more challenging. I'm really glad I'm not doing N gauge!

I've done so many, I'm not sure, but I think I did one. I'll check this afternoon and get back to you.

OH CRAP, I looked at the question again and realized that you were talking about an S-3, not as RS-3. AADD rears it's ugly head again. Sorry. :-[ :-[ :-[


Hi Ian,

I did a Walthers PK1000 RS-2, which should be about the same as yours. Well I tried to attach some pictures, but I got a message that I am not allowed to view that attachment.

Basically what I did was leave the light module in, wired to it, then mounted my LM over the tower behind the front truck. Then I mounted a Digitrax SP 10188 10mm x 18mm oval speaker on the bottom of the light module over the rear truck, using double sided tape. It's not as loud as the I Phone speaker, but you can hear it without straining.

When I get more time after supper, I'll try again to upload the pictures, after I figure out how to turn them right side up. Every way I tried to change the orientation I got the controls greyed out and unavailable. I guess that's what I get for using a windows phone.  ::)


Here is the way I did the LM installation.


And here is the speaker mounted under the light board.


As I sat here looking at the first picture, I think if I removed the light  board, there would be room for an I phone speaker. If I had one back when I did this engine, I probably would have installed it. Maybe I'll change it out some day.  ;D
