If you want to add a Tsunami, you are looking at $120 for it and whatever speaker and baffle you decide on (combined).

Check how much current the loco draws at 12 volts DC.

The Tsunami is $95.00. Good for 1 amp.

The Micro Tsunami is $112 and good for 0.75 amp.

A 28 mm speaker that I use in a Spectrum 4-4-0 and 4-6-0 cost $6.00.

I use the MIcro in the 4-4-0 & 4-6-0. The Micro has two light capability and the standard has four light capbility. I believe the rest of the specs are the same.

Litchfield  has free shipping over $75.00.

You may want to steer clear of Litchfield as some others have had problems getting items ordered.   I've never done business with them.   You can buy from Tony's Trains in Vermont.   Great help and good shipping.   Do a Google search for info.

I have been using Litchfield Station for all my DCC stuff for three years. They answer email, ship quickly if the stuff is in stock. Good support.
Free shipping over $75.00 and very reasonable prices for shipping if under $75.00.

I buy from Tony's Trains when they are at a local train show near me.

Bruce, who found the company and recently sold it is in the Yahoo SoundTraxx Group. A very good Group for those who use SoundTraxx products.

I find that belonging to a variety of model railroad and DCC groups helps me immensely in this hobby and able to help others who are not aware of all the info that is available on the Internet.
