THANKS
Not sure why you can't find it.
The information is here, you have to look for it.
It will require some effort on your part.
I found this in the diagram page. When I put a decoder in I put a 1k, 1/8 watt resistor in series with one lead for the LED lights

Hello. Did you install a sound decoder? I see in one of the other posts on the n scale 4-6-0 that someone installed digitrax sdxn136ps .
A DZ126 should work. Made for Z, N and ho scale. No plug.

I have two of the 4-6-0s... nice little locos. On the first, I installed a Soundtraxx Tsunami 2 decoder and sugarcube speaker in a Bachmann Spectrum series USRA SHORT tender. If I can fit sound into a USRA short, it should be no problem fitting them into the USRA medium tender that comes with the 4-6-0, especially if you completely strip out the factory decoder/PCB.
The other is currently equipped with the USRA medium tender (with DCC Economi sound) from my Bachmann 2-8-0 (the 2-8-0 got a MP vandy tender with tsunami 2 sound). Eventually, it (the 4-6-0) will either get a MP vandy tender or a USRA short, again also Tsunami 2 sound.
I know the specs on those decoders as I worked with Tsunami Micros which were slightly larger I think but never worked with N scale.
Great work.
