It was the article on the MP  GE unit.  He used four phone speakers

A pessimist sees a dark tunnel

An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel

A realist sees a frieght train

An engineer sees three idiots standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space

where DID I see the article about small speakers?

 

I think it was in that "other" monthly magazine.  I'll have to go back to the January issue to see if I can find the article there.  If it was, then I totally forgot about it.

You're kidding, right?

Well, there seems to be a little slip-up in the proofreading department. The banner on the February cover is about fitting a small decoder into a tight space. The actual article appeared in the January issue on Pg. 74-75.

Now you have me scratching my head... where DID I see the article about small speakers? I replied before actually going into the reading room to retrieve the actual issue Embarrassed

So, the article I was thinking about WAS helpful.

Guess I'm just as guilty as M-R?

I thought it was helpful. I have several HO Geep-style hood unit projects coming up and I can use all the ideas I can get.

Here's a recent E-8 that I worked two cube speakers into and still maintained the large weight without modification.

Sugar cubes, like LEDs, are a real blessing for model railroaders.

Just wondering about folk's opinion about the article in the February MR about putting DCC speakers in small spaces.
