It's OK Rod, I don't think anyone thought you was "having a go" at anyone. Electrics can be baffling that is for sure, electronics even more so, even for me. I was just saying this particular sound card is the easiest, simple fit that I have seen, especially to a standard servo type receiver where it just plugs in on a Y lead.

A Y lead is just a splitter like this.

I have added a link to a video on the "Railway in the Valley of the Mill" thread showing the loco I have added one of these sound cards to.

I am looking forward to Philip making the video for us all to see how the sound is in his loco

Your wish is my command, Rod!

The video is over on my Gmeinder loco build thread.
I did actually get it finished last weekend as I had hoped, and did a short video, but then discovered I had made a serious boo-boo! For inexplicable reasons, I made the 4 handrails 48mm long instead of 32mm long. I knew it looked wrong but it was only when I was comparing the video with the photo's that I realsied why.
So I had to remove them from the loco, try to fill the holes and remake and repaint the handrails and refit them. By which time it has started raining again!

Will it ever stop....And we can get back to this.. ... Then again we will probably complain about it being to hot..

I have acquired a small quantity of these..

Intention is to supply a 'kit' of receiver + soundcard, ready to go (as best I can).

One of a couple of 'kits to do stuff' I am hoping to make available...

But don't hold your breath!
