I have a G scale Bachmann 3 Truck Shay on my mantel (with log cars and caboose) that is DCC ready and I want to power up the lights, fire box and sound. Looking for a sound card, controller and power supply to accomplish it.. Obviously do not require multiple trains etc. Haven't seen anything on line that fits the bill and hope to get some advise on the project that is cost effective (or not). May try to include drive train operation without motion in the future with brushes or rollers (would hate to waste all that magnificent drive train function) but not on the front burner for now.
Thanks, Tony  

I've been looking for a G scale model of a 3 cylinder 2 truck Shay, 35 ton or so (with no luck) to use for an indoor display. It will be something like a shadow box with a few log cars and maybe a caboose but I want to be able to power the engine with sound, firebox, lights, and maybe even drive train movement.
My question, can I reconfigure a Three truck 55 ton by removing the center truck from the assembly to look like a two truck? I want this display to be reasonably correct as it will depict a scene in the area of my mountain cabin around the early 1900s. They also used two truck Shays to build a dam for the lake below my cabin using dump cars that I would like to copy as an alternate display. I have some pictures of the construction period. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
