Example 1: Dapol OO Class 52 Western - 6 Function version

Kit: MX644C; Zimo Dumbo LS55X22X09-2W

Shown with the kit already installed, this is a very simple conversion to DCC Sound. Basically the same as the previous 4-function version, except that this one requires the 'C' type of MX644 21pin decoder in order to access all of the 6 lighting features. We have a special version of our Western project which is pre-configured for the extra lighting features in this model.

Example 2: Smaller Speaker

Kit: MX644C; Zimo Dumbo LS40X22X09

Another example using exactly the same approach, but a slightly smaller speaker. This choice would allow for speaker for a SuperCap (with LifeLink) if you wanted to big stay-alive instead (not shown here).

Example 3: Alternative Speakers

Kit: MS440C; Rail Exclusive BoomBox 40x20x10 2W; SuperCap17000uF

Another alternative set of kit that we think works really well...

Kit: MS440C; YLR603010; SuperCap17000uF

Yet another kit - the YLR603010 just about goes into the latest edition of the Western with the speaker platform removed. This speaker gives probably the best performance of them all.

Example 4: Newer speaker, stay-alive, and Zimo MS

Kit: MS440C; Breeze38x20x10

Back we come again to the fabulolus Dapol Western in OO, this time with one of our new Breeze speakers.

MS440C 21pin sound decoder plugs in simply, and we decide to just stick with the sample 1000uF capacitor for stay-alive (this comes with the MS440). There is plenty of space for a better stay-alive if we'd wanted it - probably would go with MGOLANG.
