RAF96. In your picture I can see the cube speaker. Is it in a small enclosure, or is it as it comes? My cube speaker came without an enclosure. Can it be installed as it is or is a small enclosure needed?

Thanks you for getting back, & the photo. I think I am resigned to a 'cube' speaker (something I hadn't heard of until earlier today). Is one make better than another?

Thanks again for the replies. All answers are noted. Today I started to install the sound decoder into my Flying Scotsman. All is going to plan apart from installing the actual decoder with speaker. I know how to intall the plug, but when I do, where will the speaker fit? I can't see anywhere the speaker will fit. The decoder is an R8106. The Flying Scorsman set is the R2441. I have Googled & You-Tubed, & if the answer is out there, I never came across it. The nearest is to cut the speaker wires & extend to the tender???

Thanks everyone for your help & advise. I am struggling to find a newer digital set. The few that were around when I ordered mine have dried up, or way over the Hornby price, hence looking secondhand.

I've been let down on the Mixed Traffic train set, so now I have my eye on a second hand 'Somerset Belle' Digital. So I have two questions, is this a good digital set to start with? I already have the Flying Scotsman Analogue set, but I have upgraded the 'Scotsman Engine' to DCC. What tracks would I need to make an 'inner oval track?

Thank you Rog & Chrisaf. I will let you know what firmware the controler comes with once I receive it.

Thank you for your answer. It is very helpful. Based on your answer, I may have made a mistake, as a few days ago I bought the 'HORNBY Mixed Traffic Digital Train Set with Siding R1236'. I haven't received it yet, so I don't know the DCC controler off hand, but I guess it is one of the cheap ones you warned me against. For now, so long as it works the two loco's that come with the set, & my Flying Scotsman it will get me started. I do plan to add around 3 more Loco's & a little more track to the layout. I moved house many years ago & only now do I have a little room, hence my new interest. In the future I will have a lot more space & then I will upgrade to better equipment.

I have the Hornby Flying Scott train set R1152. It says DCC ready. I'm guessing it needs another part. Can you advise me what part number I need. Also if I buy one of the sound cards, will that also make it DCC as well, or do I need the two parts?
