the assembly back in, somewhat as you did to get it out. Once
in place, just press it down with a screwdriver.
If you disassembled the couplers, you will need to reassemble
them onto the frame working around the shell details. That is
more difficult, in my opinion.
Now you have a NW2 switcher with sound, you lucky person!
Non-sound decoder
This same design could be used with a non-sound decoder. You
wouldn’t have to split the fuel tank or install the speaker. If you
used an insulated decoder, you wouldn’t have to apply Kapton
tape to the frame. However, the installation would be very
much the same. But once you have the frame machined, why
not put a Tsunami in it and have sound? The cost differential is
just a couple of R-T-R boxcars.
I hope you got something out of this column. There are a
bunch of tricks and tools that won’t fit into this column that I
cover in the feature-length video.

I wish you green boards until next month! Don’t forget to look
