General Discussion / Climax Sound addition
November 11, 2015, 02:52:34 PM
Hello, I am new and have a question about the three truck Climax logging engine. I bought a Three Truck Climax on E-Bay, and it runs flawlessly. So to get sound, I ordered a sound decoder  through Mico Mark. The advertised it for the Two Truck Climax, but I figured that the sound should match close enough, if not exact. After waiting for three month or better for the part on back order, it arrived only for me to find that the plug on the sound module is a 22 pin European (NEM 21?) style, and the DCC board in the Climax is the NMRA 8 pin style! My real disappointment was that I talked with a Bachmann Rep at the NMRA train Show in Portland OR this summer, and told him exactly what I was trying to do, and he never said it wouldn't work.   So my real question is...Can I simply use an adapter like is in the Walters Catalog  #745-135 to convert the two mismatches?

New to the forum....Has there been any discussion on converting old style Spectrum DC engines to DCC?  I am talking about the ones with no provision fro DCC already on board.
