BR 112 Roco - part 3

 As planned, I ordered a tiny sound decoder trying to make everything fit in there. I chose ESU 58820 LokSound 5 Micro DCC Decoder:

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of how all of this fits in the engine, but it did! And I loaded a ESU sound project. A video soon ...

 

I then moved on to adding the details. Back with my BB 16500 Vitrains, I struggled quite a bit to add details and found that my pliers of low quality were not doing the job. I upgraded with Japan-made tooling ...

A couple of days later, I finished installing the details:

This machine is now complete!

I have also ordered a micro decoder to see if it could fit in there, so I can get sound too ...

The model is Roco 63555:

The model is very heavy and analog. Let's open it and see what we can do to convert it to DCC:

There's a NEM 625 plug and very little room for the decoder or for a speaker. I found a sound project on ESU for BR 110, that seems to also apply to BR 112:

I tried to fit a ESU LokSound 5 but it does not fit above the main board. I ordered a ESU Micro and we will see if I can fit it in there with a speaker. For now, I installed a basic ESU LokPilot:

Next post will be some videos ...
