Original run Kato (mid 1990's run) N scale U30C that came in for repair.
The TCS decoder was toast in it, so we explored sound options. I was pretty sure I could fit a V5 nano decoder in the model with a bit of work.
This video is proof of that. :)
Used for this install:
58923 ESU LokSound V5 nano decoder
15x8 speaker and 3d printed housing
lightboard pulled from a Kato HO NW2 I had in a junk box
misc LED's
Frame machined, mechanism repaired, cleaned, lubricated, decoder wired in, speaker installed, programmed to ESU S0545 GE FDL sound file, test.

As always, I hope you learned something, and if not, hopefully you were mildly entertained.
Thanks for watching!
