I got a Bachmann GP7 and the thing really runs great. What I want to do is find out what sound decoder will fit in the unit. Sound decoders are a bit expensive and I don't want to buy ones that don't fit. Really wish one of these decoder companies would figure this out. Any way, has anyone installed a sound decoder in one of these?
If you have and can email me at Binderchk@gmail.com I would really appreciate any information on this quest.

Thanks

An MRC decoder goes for around $50.00. Be careful of ebay as older MRC sound decoders had bad rep. Litchfield Station, a very good DCC seller will not even stock MRC decoders.
Other brands are more expensive.
