Bachmann OO Pannnier with MS Sound and huge MGOBLOCK stay-alive

Kit: MS500, SugarCube7, LifeLink and MGOBLOCK stay-alive

Always looking for different, and better ways to get sound and stay-alive into models, here's a different approach to Bachmann's 8pin Pannier Tank.

Strip out the 8pin DCC socket and flatten the platform for maximum space.

Kapton for insulation, we position the SugarCube speaker and MGOBLOCK stay-aive onto the platform.

The MS500 (wired version) is hard-wired into the model, positioned above the MGOBLOCK GoldCaps, and a LifeLink is located at the front, all wrapped and protected of course. The LifeLink is necessary to sit between the MS500's Common Positive and Ground, and the 16V MGOBLOCK assembly.

It is tight, but done neatly, it is the perfect fit for the Pannier's boiler, and the stay-alive is immense!
