It's OK Rod, I don't think anyone thought you was "having a go" at anyone. Electrics can be baffling that is for sure, electronics even more so, even for me. I was just saying this particular sound card is the easiest, simple fit that I have seen, especially to a standard servo type receiver where it just plugs in on a Y lead.

A Y lead is just a splitter like this.

I have added a link to a video on the "Railway in the Valley of the Mill" thread showing the loco I have added one of these sound cards to.

I am looking forward to Philip making the video for us all to see how the sound is in his loco
Your wish is my command, Rod! :lol:

The video is over on my Gmeinder loco build thread.
I did actually get it finished last weekend as I had hoped, and did a short video, but then discovered I had made a serious boo-boo! For inexplicable reasons, I made the 4 handrails 48mm long instead of 32mm long. I knew it looked wrong but it was only when I was comparing the video with the photo's that I realsied why. :oops:
So I had to remove them from the loco, try to fill the holes and remake and repaint the handrails and refit them. By which time it has started raining again! :evil:
