Heljan O Gauge Class 05 - MS

Heljan O Gauge Class 05 with MS sound

Kit: MS440C; IceCube18X13X08; SuperCap68

Going back to an older model, to fit Zimo MS kit this time... the Heljan Class 05 is pretty straight-forward...

An MS440C just plugs straight in, the main complication being the speaker connection because Heljan did not supply any 2-pin plug, which their PCB expects for speaker connection... instead, we solder our speaker wires direct to the pins at the back of their socket - a bit fiddly, but fairly accessible. Alternatively we could have solder the speaker wires direct to the decoder, but prefer not to do this if possible.

Example 1 Example 1

We also have a SuperCap connected up for stay-alive ,which fits neatly on the side. An MGOLANG would also have worked very well in this position.

Example 1

Our IceCube18X13X08 fits neatly in the nose, fixed in with a little BlackTack, and the wires routed into the provided channel. A 9mm IceCube would have gone in too, but this gives a little more freedom to work with.

Lighting the model is rather simple... a red and white at each end (front end on F0F output, rear end on F0R output) and a cab light which is also connected to F0F/R but is not directional.
