You can find my write up on my installation of a Tsunami Sound Decoder in my Bachmann GP9 DCC On Board locomotive.

Nice install. I did replace the orange LED's on my unit.  I prefer the board style decoder myself. I've installed 6 of these in various models. Joe

Thanks Joe, your posts here were my source of encouragement.  I used the decoder I had on hand else I would have used the Micro Tsunami or some other choice.  There is very little if ANY extra space in there!

Great Joe, thanks for the blog.

You're right Roger.

Joe......I just read your Urban Myths of Model Railroading page. Cracked me up....I love it....and I gotta say that I agree with everything you say. Too many experts out there, when really all it takes is some common sense. I have encountered and come to the same conclusions you have on just about every one of your points, after building my own layout.

Great reading....thanks. Nice to know I'm not alone in my thinking.

Joe,

Just spent some time on your website.  I enjoyed it!... Especially the video of your layout in action.  The mountain scenes are gonna be great.  I also like your Model A video.  However, people our age should stay off the roads with those toys.  ;D Glad you've moved your passtime indoors.  Great stuff.

Regards,

Jonathan

I agree with your Urban Myths of Model Railroading. Just remember: EXPERTS built the Titanic,amateurs built the Ark.  Joe
