<p>Prying out the end caps is a way in some cases. But there are a lot of tenders were the end caps are soldered. A friend of mine had to cut slots between the bolsters into the bottoms of the tanks to insert decoder and speaker. The surgery is later unvisible.</p> <p>You could try to use a mini decoder beneath the cab roof. I wouldn't take out the weight. You might loose a lot of traction effort increased by a possible imbalance on the drivers.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
