Ignore the paint job - it was my first one.
Started with my Atlas Silver series Dash-8.

I hid the speaker in the radiator:

Remove the shell to find the big fat wires I had installed on my Econami Decoder:

With everything stripped, I ended up with this:

I got a bunch of these 2mm LEDs and some magnet wire, so i figured I could take care of the fat wires headed to the ditch lights:

With all the wiring done, it looked like this:

Then I installed the LM3S and tamed all the wires and ended up with this:

Shell back on and back on the track:

The railings need to be repainted, and I broke the snow plow taking it off, but I can address those later. That 16 cylinder ULT sound profile beats the crap out of the sound file in the Economi (Just my personal opinion, but, hey...) :)

Nice install there KB02, and don't worry about the paint job; I've seen worse first attempts.

I'm with Tim, seen far worse (my own lol).
Well Done Matey, looks very tidy under the hood.

Good job, KB02. Nothing bad about the paint job, it looks good. I would recommend Kapton tape be used to tie down loose wiring rather than painter’s tape. Otherwise, good first job.
-
Yes, the painter's tape was just temporary to hold the speaker for testing.
-
Great job and thanks for the tutorial.
What kind of speaker are you using.
Nice to see someone else here using the railpro system.
Kind regards,
Max

Unfortunately, I don't remember the manufacturer's name. It was one of the more highly recommended ones at the time I got it. This was just before sugar cubes and iPhone speakers became all the rage.
-
Yes - nice install there and will serve as a roadmap for me as I have the same unit sitting on a shelf waiting for an LM-3S install!
-
Good job on the install! Would like to hear the speaker.
