Title: Add Sound Decoder
Post by: trawler on March 21, 2011, 10:22:47 AM
Would like to add a sound decoder to 4-4-0 American #BAC83403.  If possible how do I order? Thank you

trawler-

Although you can save a little money by installing a sound only decoder (a Digitrax Soundbug is on sale at Litchfield Station for $40), you'll do much better installing a whole new decoder. You'll not only add sound but also have more versatility with a full-featured decoder and probably benefit from back EMF. Micro Mark has an MRC sound and DCC decoder for $75 but I don't know off the top of my head if it has BEMF.

I have a MRC decoder and it is pretty large, by the way--- How large is the tender?
