LGB Porter Power

I'd follow John's idea about the LGB tender (and I agree the sound unit is ghastly - the one in their starter set locos is much better). The snag I can see is that this tender doesn't have pickups (uses a 9v battery to power the sound). There is a solution though - you'll need one pack of the 67343 metal wheels, a 63193 electrical contact set, and some wire - fit the metal wheels and use the contacts to add pickups from them. All you need then is a couple of LGB's mini plugs (the old "barrel" type) to hook up to the loco (can't find a part number for these unfortunately, but if you buy a 68334 lighting socket adaptor it'll get you a pair). <br /> <br />The Porter I had had the sockets in the firebox door inside the cab - it's pretty dark in there though so a torch might come in handy. I know I couldn't find them at first! Hope this is of use.
