I worked on the electronic package today. The Soundcar, a Keep Alive and a speaker. Darrell turned me on to the TCS KA1s, which are evidently out of production,  so I got a KA4 instead (The KA1 and KA4 still pack a punch but are smaller and don't have the capicator capacity of the Soundtraxx unit). Soundtraxx requires a special connection for a keep alive. They were kind enough to send me some. I looked into hard wiring this, but the connection is tiny.

The Soundcar came with a 1" speaker. I painted the enclosure to match the interior.

I painted the trucks black. PBL makes a nice accommodation to power the trucks. The Soundcar will be on the roof, and it is likely that the trucks will need to be separated so connectors are provided. (I wish Soundtraxx would drill the back of the female connector to make it easier to solder).
