Have received the Mallet . Exactly the way you showed the battery situation for the 3v board. Looks like MTH had their stuff on the right page !
The batteries are AA Nicads /700 mAh . Before I PERMANENTLY INSTALL THE BSR , is it OK to drop in a couple fully charged Energizer AA NiMH / 2000 mAh for testing purpose only ?
On this older model Mallet I have only opened the tender and I did find that rough metal flake look on the speaker that has been discussed before . Only one little speck of shiney stuff on the chassis floor. I have coated the speaker housing several times with ( Super Thin ) Super Glue. (( on the exhaust of an older vehicle I had porous leaking at the muffler and I coated the area, with that product and the rust ..............a year and a half later the muffler gave out........the area with the Super Thin coating came off in the shape of the original repair !!! 😨 ) Sooooo, I figured it would keep the shiny stuff on the speaker housing at bay for awhile.
The Mallet from Trainz on the Bay was no where near cosmetically challenged as I thought it would be. Great price and overall looks like new.
I will probably have questions on it for you later John 🤔
Thanks.
