Space is indeed always a difficulty, but it is usually possible to find some just about. I had to fit the capacitors in the fuel tanks of the Dapol 56s and 58s.

My biggest issue is the reliability of turnouts at the present time, i need to deal with this prior to track cleanliness, great video though. Well done.
