Is there a sound decoder I can put in the Acela?

QSI Solutions has plans for Acela and HHP sound sets.  I'm not sure what the status is not that but I've made my fair share of requests both in person and through email.  There's plenty of room for a speaker and the decoder as well as other lighting features (namely ditch lights).

I have installed an tgv thalys loksound decoder in my acela. It has the same engine and break sounds but you have to add horn and bells. ESU loksound also has sounds for the gg-1 and a similar sound package for the aem-7 

I have videos of the acela with loksound in action on my website

ac_catenary,

I've seen your video on Youtube.  Nice job!  I purchased a large number of programmable QSI Solutions decoders in anticipation of the Acela soundset.  What I look forward to most is the unique horn.

Thanks MLRR
I was looking at the QSI system but the loksound system was simular in price both can be reprogrammed.  The loksound has the constant speed.. that will adjust the locomotive speed up and down hills .. Cruise control and it was motor and sound decoder all in one
