I decided to take a slightly different tack on a cow and calf (NW2) set that I bought for my self. Somewhere in the past I read here that someone was using removable hoods on his engines, It might be Paul Burch,...any way that's what this was about....removable hoods.
An NW2 is not the smallest engine out there but it's no -9 either. The speaker is in the fuel tank and the little blue terminal strip next to the P5 is to connect the leads to the LED head lamp.. I know the picture makes the plywood mounting plate look bowed but I assure you it's flat as a board...no pun intended. The hood on the NW2 has a little tab that holds it down at the cab and there's a second tab that keys into the deck at the front...works nice
The 2 resistors in the red lead along the side of the mounting board are the dropping resistors for the LEDs I used for the head and tail lights.
