Hornby OO SR West Country Class (21pin version) with MS

Kit: MS440C; IceCube28X18X08; MGOLANG

Hornby's re-release of the West Country Class has a 21pin socket in the tender, and space for a 28mm round speaker. We can do better than that for speaker though, and decide to modify the coal load to make room for a dual IceCube instead.

The MGOLANG (wrapped in Kapton tape) will just fit inside the round space that was meant for a speaker, and our IceCube speaker's wires go to the appropriate solder points on the model's PCB (marked S1 and S2).

The decoder plugs in upside down in this model (compared to most 21pin models), so beware of orientation!

We then set about cutting enough of the coal load area to make space for the big speaker.
