Thank you. I always find your tutorials so helpful. The pace you work at and how you show the work being done is just right. I appreciate being able to see how you clamp and hold tiny parts or subassemblies of them as that’s almost always where my frustration begins and having these as reference ideas is wonderful. Thank you again. Chris
I bought a cheap soldering station a couple of years ago. The tip came with the station. It's not particularly small and has become a bit blunt over the years, so I think most pencil tip shaped solering tips should work well.
Your GP35 video helped me tremendously for my first ESU Loksound micro installation into my GP35s. Thank you. What type of wire stripper did you use in this SD24 video?
Thanks! I'm glad that these videos make people more comfortable trying to do sound installations themselves. The wire stripper is the Jokari JOK 40 027: www.reichelt.de/de/en/wire-stripper-esd-plus-001-102-mm-0-12-0-40-mm-jok-40-027-p220779.html?r=1
N scale installs look tricky but you make it seem way easier than it seems. Have u considered any of the loksound direct atlas boards, esu has 2 styles for pre-2016 and post-2016 engines
I have looked at them and a couple of guys in our group have bought some of them. To me it seems they cause more problems than they solve for engines that don't already come with a speaker or at least a dedicated spot for a speaker. Using the direct boards and finding space for a speaker seems to be a real struggle from what I have seen, because the boards run along almost the entire length of the engine. For converting the newer Atlas silver engines they are probably a great option though.
Yes, the variant with part number 58923 comes with the adapter board with all the wires attached. There's also the variant with part number 58925 with the E24 interface. I don't know that one, but it probably doesn't have any wires attached.
