Has anyone installed a sound decoder in the Spectrum 4-4-0 ???

If so, can you please share info on the installation.

Thanks...

I did a sound install using a SoundTraxx DSD-100LC generic steam decoder. Go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EarlyRail/ and subscribe to the Yahoo group. It is free.
Then go to photos and click on Bachmann 4-4-0.
Also go to Tony's trains and select Products SoundTraxx. Look for the DSD decoders.
I removed the factory DCC module and pc board. I soldered in the decoderand installed a speaker.
I would suggest the DSD-090 decoder if you can find one. It would plug directly into the pc board.
