Heljan OO9 Baldwin with DCC Sound & Stay-Alive

Kit: STACO2A; MS591; SugarCube6

With the 6pin board removed from the Baldwin, a Zimo STACO2A board is put in its' place - this is a Next18 socket PCB with built-in circuitry for stay-alive attachment of 2x mini GoldCaps. The GoldCaps are connected in series, one placed either side in the tanks. Speaker in the cab (SugarCube6). Very tight, but neat, sounds great, and runs amazingly well. Decoder is the little MS590 or MS591, just plugging into the STACO2 board.
