Welcome back Hornby Forum and DCC Speakers

Hi Folks and welcome back to the Hornby forum.

What speakers to people recommend for fitting in a Hornby 9f R3155 tender ?

The one supplied in the Hornby kit is a little on the 'Large' side for the tender.

Any advice appreciated.

I use either a sugar cube speaker or one of those very small iphone speakers that the guy (Road and Rails in Leeds) sells on EBay. The thing I like about the iphone ones is that they are very thin and give good sound and are pretty consistent with their quality. I had good and bad experiences with sugar cube speakers, some work really well, others I can hardly hear anything. I think the small iphone one should fit across the tender, if your tender is the same as a lot of the others a lot of the room is taken up with the depth of the coal bunker.

R3155 has the decoder socket mounted on the loco chassis and the tender is 'full' of non-working Ringfield motor.

This is what is in the tender ?

Reckon I can cut most of this out to fit the speaker.

Thanks for the info. I'll look at that option.

I see, sorry about that, I just assumed it was the same as the Crosti one. I am pretty sure that one went in the tender. In that case I would use a sugar cube one under the smokebox, that is how I did it with the Railroad A4 Mallard, I added sound to.

Thanks Colin,

I've ordered some iPhone speakers from R&R
