Hi everyone, I want to know which sound module do I purchase if I want to install sound in a dcc equipped C&O K-4 2-8-4 I recently purchased. The web site does not list the 2-8-4 so I dont know if I need the Medium steam or the Large steam. Thanks for all the help! :-)

Tom M.

I suggest you use the Heavy Steam sound set.

Regards,

Tom

Thanks Tom, is this the only thing I need to put sound in my K-4 or do I need any additional items? Thanks again.

Sounds like you know little about DCC sound . Look at the diagram. There is a spot for a 28 MM speaker.
Plug the eight pin decoder plug into the tender socket.
Different brands of sound decoders might not have the right pin plug. You might need an adapter.
