Hello guys,
I just got an HO Bachmann Amtrak engine model 65507. Its a phase III number 978. It is dcc equipped for lights, speed, and directions. Does anyone know if I can add a sound decoder to it? Or would I have to replace the whole decoder? Either case, what would be the decoder of choice and less hassle to install? I really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you all.....
You do understand that the prototype E60 is an electric powered loco? As such, it does not have the typical diesel prime mover sound. This rules out any of the Soundtraxx Tsunami decoders. I suggest you take a look at ESU LokSound USA's web page. I believe they offer sound decoders for some electric locos. However, you are going to need to remove the existing decoder and replace it with the sound decoder.
Good luck,
Tom
Thanks Tom. I'll give it a shot.
