I'm thinking about trying this on one of my P42s. Did you have to mill any of the frame? I've tried sound in the past with the P42, and I've always had an issue with a small, but noticeable, gap between the frame and the shell since the speaker is a tad too big. The last one I tried was a Soundtraxx decoder.
I will hire you if you can help with dcc conversion. But it’s a really hard one. No one else wants to touch it. I was on a waiting list with someone but I think he’s too busy even though he’s who spookshow recommends for it . The 2 other times I mailed away locos for dcc work they were stolen. Lost 7 locos 2 and 5
I went ahead and followed all the steps outlined here for my P42 and all I get is the DC squeal when on my DCC programming track. Any thoughts? the pick ups are isolated from the motor tabs, I went as far as to apply kapton tape to the bottom of the WVD board just in case there was any uncovered metal, still nothing.
on the WVD board i used kapton tape at the motor connections and that was it,just take a small piece of tape and make it real small around the motor part of the motor connects into the board itself I'm going to do a quick update video small that way anybody can see what I did and go from there for part 2
There's one issue with how they apply the kapton tape. You need to take the brass strip out and wrap the kapton tape around it at the spot where the so the motor lead is so that it can't come in contact with it. In the video he just puts on top which could lead to a short and possible fried decoder. See how it's done in this video. ruclips.net/video/Lki3J5W0jDg/видео.html

Nope didn't mill the frame for anything all I had to do was cut the speaker to fit better and it sounds great the bored fits like factory
Made a part 2 where the engine is running around the layout but I made a short video you can watch in my shorts of the p42 running around my layout
@@nscaledivision2336 Ah. Thanks. Saw your short - it does look like the shell from front to back is sitting high. Can you confirm?
@@novanscaler yep i did that bec i took the body shell off when i did the full video and for the short i just put it on just not all the way.
@@nscaledivision2336 Okay. Awesome!
I might need a plan b for something if you can help on a loco. Do you know what a ep-2 bi-polar is in n scale
