I've seen the Lenz version but thought it would be far too big for N scale.

MMMMMMM   too  tiny  for  me  i  draw the line  at   N  scale        
Mind i  was under the  impression   sound  was  easy to install  in   HO  have  several  locos i  would   like to  fit up   but  the  speakers   wont  fit  in      each  scale has  its  problems.

Are there any safe caps of the same size Pete? Just in case one day I decide to try something risky.

Not realy but if you had a bit more space i would fit electrolylic ones . Looking in the 'big book of bits' found one that would do the same job 12.5 mill x 10 mill
Tant one are 7.3 x 2.9 mill and they used 10 of them at 45p each (thats trade price +vat) where the electroiylic are 25p each for the value that makes up to the 10 they fitted
