Can you fit a Train-Tech sound capsule to an N gauge model?
Fitting any component inside an N gauge body shell can be challenging, and whether fitting a decoder, figures or even just a spot of interior lighting, N gauge modellers certainly have their work cut out.
When it comes to Train-Tech's sound capsules, you will probably have to concede that they are slightly better suited to OO gauge models and you are unlikely to fit one in an N gauge locomotive. However, many modellers have managed to shoehorn them into a suitable wagon, albeit with the sound tube cut down or omitted, and there is even a section in Train-Tech's instructions advising on the best way to fit them to N gauge.
So in conclusion: Train-Tech sound capsules do not easily fit into N gauge models, but also, there is no end to the ingenuity of N gauge modellers!
