Which one are you asking about since you are asking, which ones?

I have some info on this but the products are not Bachmann and your email is hidden or I would PM you the info.
You can always do a google search for DD40AX dcc sound install like I did. I hope you have experience with DCC sound installs.

I have recently spent many hours reading about fitting DCC and sound.Do not feel intimidated about doing this, but start with some cheaper DCCdecoders first and graduate to the more expensive sound decoders.Try Bachmann to see if anything is available, and failing that , decoder manufacturers are keen for your business and they will give you all the advice and contacts you need to make this an enjoyable experience.

Email Litchfield Station as they have helped me. Be specific about brand of loco, scale.
No idea on your level of DCC experience but I am quite sure it will not be plug and play.

Be advised, this loco had two 3,300 prime movers. One brand sound decoder can simlate this when you fine tune the CV's.
