Kit: MX658N18; YouChoos SugarCube10
Easy install into the recent Next18 Class 03 diesel from Bachmann - the MX658N18 simply plugs in, and we've removed the
factory-supplied speaker mount (designed for a 15x11mm StickyGasket speaker) and put a better SugarCube10 speaker in instead.

Kit: MX658N18; SugarCube9; LifeLink with 3x 470uF Flat Tantalums
Starting at essentially the same point as Example 1 above, the Class 03 model with Next18 interface does provide suitable
connection points for stay-alive, so it is just a case of working out what stay-alive will fit in, and where...

The PCB provides +VE and GROUND solder pads which we connect blue and grey wires to. These are marked as "V+" and "V-"...

Our LifeLink connection PCB is joined in, and 3 flat 470uF Tantalums are hooked in too.

Protect both parts with Kapton tape. The Tantalums slide in underneath the motor, and there is a convenient home for the
LifeLink just under the top lighting PCB. Secure this with a blob of BlackTack.
