I am starting to Convert some of my old locomotives over to sound. While it isn't cheap, its cheaper than new sound eqyiped loco's. Plus I've got a lot of old Proto 1000 and 2000 stuff in Canadian Pacific colors that are near and dear to my heart.
Is anyone else making the move from non-sound to sound?
Heres a few that I have completed. Kato GP35, Spectrum Baldwin 4-6-0, Proto 2000 GP9, and a pair of Aethern Genisis F9's. All done with Soundtraxx decoders and speakers. They all run and sound great.

Try this link, I've upgraded several Bachmann DC GP40's, and DC SD40-2 to DCC sound using this method.

I'm not so warm and fuzzy about the Canadian Pacific. They just took over my beloved KCS which my family has many very old ties to, and are going to wipe out the beautiful Southern Belle red, black, and yellow paint scheme. In favor of plain red? I have a conniption fit just thinking about it.
