Bachmann OO Jinty 3F (8pin version) with Zimo MS sound and stay-alive

Kit: MS480; SugarCurve7; STACO1 stay-alive

One of our old favourite models, this is the 8pin version of Bachmann's 3F Jinty. Here we have removed the 8pin socket and hard-wired in an MS480, SugarCurve7 speaker, and used a STACO1 stay-alive kit. The decoder and speaker slot up into the boiler, along with the PCB part of the STACO kit, and the 3 GoldCaps from the STACO kit are positioned just behind them, secured to the boiler roof with BlackTack - this fits just where the 8pin socket was originally.
