I have six of the ES44AC NS Heritage locomotives and although I am generally pleased with them I don't like that I am missing many of accessory sounds I get on my Genesis Tsunami decoders like compressors, pop offs, etc.
Is it easy to upgrade these decoders? I have not removed any shells yet, but based on research I believe there is a light board with a 21 pin plug that the SoundValue decoder uses and that the SoundValue decoder could be removed and replaced with a Soundtraxx 885809 21plug in decider.
Is this correct?
I am also looking at a Bachmann E7 with SoundValue. Would the same plan as above work?
