Found this on AliExpress, not tried it but other than no horn the diesel sound it produces doesn't seem to sound too bad. Just thought I would let people know.

Sadly, most things that I look at on Aliexpress, say they can't ship to UK ( no idea why not?), although I did actually manage to buy a motor from them yesterday- first thing I've ever managed to get!

I must be special then?

Steve, whats the link for that one then? The previous link was only 40 pence, reduced from £35!!
I'm just thinking it might go in my little German diesel, although the blurb says it needs to be wired between the Rx and the ESC, which won't work for a Deltang/Micron I think.

Very odd, I will try it again
I just bought one for 40p (plus P&P), but they should be £7.27 (plus P&P) at the moment. No idea what's going on.
If not just do a search for

You should be able to add a power supply to one end and attach just the signal wire (that would go to a normal RX) onto the Deltang / Micron board and link it to the throttle channel. It might need some reprogramming of the RX though to get it to work. That's how I got a directional servo working for the turning driver on one of my loco's.
I will give it a test when they "eventually" arrive and let you know.

So it requires a servo signal. - As you would feed to a separate ESC.
With a Micron configured MR603, you will need to program a pin to give this signal.
With a RC Trains configured MR603, you get a servo output pre-configured on Pin 6.

Next time somebody asks my favorite color, I'm telling them it's "with small horn"!

Well it works on a standard RX setup, sorry about the out of focus video Next thing is getting a servo output on a Micron RX603.

Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well..

Erm, yup, that would be very helpful.
I tried changing the programming on P1 to be the same as CH1, with no success. I used SOS mode to enter programming mode, no issues there. I then done 2,1,1,1,1 (using the switch for forward/reverse) thinking that would change P1 to be a servo like CH1, all seemed to go in and it went back to a solid light. Then tested the output and it's still set as a forward LED? I have tried this numerous times even trying P4 instead of P1, but alas, it's still the same?

What version of MR603 do you have?
Number etched on board:
Letter written on the chip:
Possibly, 4,14 output in programming?
