Anyone out there know of a motion/sound decoder that I can use in a Bachmann FA2 loco that is DCC ready?
The frame has a spot for a speaker. I don't want to have to pull the board and install a different one just for sound.
Soundtraxx makes one part # 827104. You'll need a 8 pin to 9 pin adapter( part # 810135) and a speaker. Remove the dummy plug of the PC board and plug in the decoder making sure pin 1 on the decoder goes into the hole for pin 1 on the board. Joe
Below is a link the shows you how to do this. People should include this link for users who would be concerned about the warranty when cutting back the shrink. No idea on your level of experience.
