That is awesome. We rebuild CV12 engines (and CV8) here in Shrewsbury. I really want mine to sound like a CV12 and not some generic diesel

Only thing with a Clark board, your Heng Long transmitter isn't compatible.

I think that should read FETs, not fetes. FET=field effect transistor, if I remember correctly. I also think, if you look at your photo, the second from the right of the 4 black square things (FETS) at the top looks discoloured. At this point I will stop, as my limited electronics knowledge is rathe aged.
