I have done the same Shay several times with different radios but putting everything in the tender area. Currently using an Airwire system and DSX sound. Very tight but doable. I moved the speaker up under the coal load for better sound and to free up needed space on the floor. As stated, for 75 MHz systems you can run the antenna wire up behind the engineer to an array under the roof. Airwire just sticks up through a hole in the tender. You have to separate the battery input from the internal circuit board. I can e-mail you a circuit diagram if you message me at two4seven@earthlink.net You will end up in the junk mail folder so give me a distinctive title to recognize. <br /> <br />A good alternative with the Shay is to put all the electronics in the tender and run two wires back to a battery car consisting of sub-C cells in dummy logs. Should run for more than three hours with NiMH cells.
