In this installation, a twin sugarcube speaker was installed in the available cab space, below the belt line of the window.
LEDs were fitted and 470 ohm resistors added to limit the current draw.
The DC lighting board was removed to enable space for the ESU LokSound V5 decoder.
Note: Many of the NR models utilising the 8 pin socket and globe lighting were incorrectly wired at the factory. Subsequently some models were susceptible to decoder damage. When installing a decoder in such a model, it is best to hardwire the decoder and bypass the factory motherboard(s).

If there are perforation holes in the fuel tank, the speaker resides in the fuel tank.
