Williams by Bachmann / Sound for Scale Hudson
August 13, 2009, 10:55:56 AM
I want to install a Sound Commander 2 by ERR into the tender of the Williams by Bachmann Scale Hudson--It has a tethered tender wich contains the reverse board, and TBII board & speaker

I have a few questions--

Is there enough room in the tender?
