I'm looking for as sound set-up for my HO 3-truck shay. In my search I found only 2 postings 1 from '07 & 1 from '08.
There must be more on this, doers anybody know of a sound system to put into an HO Shay.
Thanks & I'm new to this form

Hi
    If you go to the Soundtraxx site,they have a sound decoder (light logging)that quite a few fellows have installed.Just type in on your computer search (HO Bachmann sound installation) and you will get lots of info.

with the soundtraxx light logging, you might want a cam for the three beat sound.
i have a soundtrax micro in a climax which sounds pretty good but the climax has two cylinders.
no speakers included with the soundtraxx.

loksound has a standard and micro for the shay specifically but I have never tried one so i do not know what the beat is like.
I use loksound micros in ho locos that do not draw over 0.5 amp
litchfield and other online sellers will program the sound for you. you do not have to buy the programmer module for the loksound. the loksound decoders come with 100 ohm speakers. not a problem for me.
