Can I replace the"Sound Value" DCC/ Sound module with a Tsunami sound module for a greater variety of sound affects?
Does it require soldering the wires or is it a "plug-in" replacement? Will it work with the existing speaker?  Please advise.
Thank You!

Soldering's not that hard. A short tutorial can be found here: https://www.build-electronic-circuits.com/how-to-solder/

Get some wire and a piece of copper plated perf board, similar to this:



Then practice a bit before you try it on a decoder.

A 25 watt soldering iron works well for small wires and PC boards. If you'll be doing wire-to-wire connections, some small heat shrink tubing is handy also. It stays put better than electrical tape. You can find it at most hardware or home improvement stores.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
