Rapido OO LBSCR E1 Tank

Kit: MS581; LifeLink + 3x 470uF Flat Tantalums

Very tightly packed in, but neat, the Rapido E1 has a factory SugarCube sized speaker on board already and a Next18 socket big enough for the MS581.

There's no way any GoldCaps are going in this model, unless we routed back to the bunker, but rather than have that extra wiring, we decide on a LifeLink with 3x 470uF Flat Tantalums for stay-alive instead. This requires soldering wires to the MS581 for Common Positive and Ground, then some careful planning of placement and wire lengths for the Tantalums.

The LifeLink can sit with the decoder, then 1 of the tantalums on one side of the drive shaft, one on the other and a 3rd stacked up against the decoder.

Solid model, this approach being about the best we can do without making more major modifications to the model.
