Try using the shell of the locomotive as an enclosure. And don't forget the back of the speaker puts out just as much as the front.
On diesel locomotives that have open fan grills, I mount the speaker face up over the grill openings, ( on the inside of the shell) Plug any grill openings that the speaker does not cover.
The loco shell becomes the enclosure, plus some of sounds will exit from the drive openings. This works great on Athearn units and some of the Atlas shells
as long as we are working with HO.
