8.0 Install speaker into fuel tank and
route wires up right front channel
Now things are moving quickly. The next step is to mount the
speaker into the fuel tank relief. I selected a speaker from
another Model Railroad Hobbyist sponsor, Railmaster Hobbies
. It is a 14 x 25 mm unit with its own
enclosure – DS1425-8. The speaker enclosure is just a bit lon-
ger than the fuel tank boss on the frame.
Put some caulk in the bottom of the relief and then position
the speaker front to rear so that an equal amount of the enclo-
sure extends beyond the boss on each end.
It would be best if you set this aside for overnight or for a few
hours to cure. If you must press on right now, keep checking
back that the speaker enclosure hasn’t shifted as you work.
Figure 23 was taken after the trucks were wired and the wires
secured per step 9. At this time you wouldn’t have the Kapton
