Install in a P2K S-3?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Lee Nicholas:
Ian.... I have installed 4 Atlas S2- S4 with speakers. I had to turn the flywheel down at one end to get the module in. I used a cell phone speaker and had to cut it down. I have pictures I can share.

Antoine L.:
I have tried p2k s1 switcher install and failed due to lack of space. The hood was too narrow for the lm-2s and cramping it up in there was a real mess. I ended up breaking detail parts and losing patience.

I highly recommend going for the DCC ready version of anything which will most likely have space to fit the LMs.

Alan:
HO Atlas S1,2,3,4 old tooling is the same way. Hood too narrow. Insufficient space in cab.

Same here. Had to remove about 0.060" from the rear flywheel. Also had to remove the LM electronics from its plastic case. Mounted the guts in top of hood (at cab end) with tiny styrene strips. Board bottom protected with Kapton.

I've been looking at this install lately, and I think I have a plan. Some minor chassis grinding and it may all fit. Pics to follow in a bit. Hope I can squeeze in a K-A and a buzzed down iPhone speaker as well.

Stay Tuned.

Picture 1 is the OEM S3 chassis.

Picture 2 is the OEM S3 chassis with the 8 pin plug dummy board removed. Looks like a LM-3S will fit with some chassis mods.
