RDD Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Could anyone tell me if i can fit a Hornby TTS decoder in Railroad Flying Scotman. R3086, LNER Class A1 and which one is best to buy. I was told the the speaker may be to big to fit. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I assume it is roughly the same as a Tornedo. I think it should fit under the chimney, I tried it for size with a dummy one I have (I blew it up ages ago, so I now use it for sizing). You will need to get a small sugar cube speaker off YouChoos or some other supplier, which I think will also fit. Funny, I have just converted two of my Hornby A1 so that the electronics will fit in the tender, because I had so much agro fitting TTS into an old Britannia. You can buy all the parts to do it properly when I realised that this is one of the few locos that has a lot of room under the chimney, so I need not have bothered.

96RAF Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Download service sheet 380 which covers that FS A1 model. You could replace the speaker with a sugar cube and mount it in the loco as suggested - like this Merchant Navy.../media/tinymce_upload/f8114d9c22d81fc8548698aa8861446c.png or extend the speaker wires to mount it in the tender on top of the tender weights - like this Mallard. The speaker is sealed in a simple cardboard tube glued to the weight. /media/tinymce_upload/58eb4910a9419e077cde87e844f94147.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go for mounting the speaker in the tender. Will now look for some male & femail block conectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
