TTS decoder.

[RDD]

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

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.

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...

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.

Thanks you for sending me your photos, great help. I will go for mounting the speaker in the tender. Will now look for some male & femail block conectors.
