I have a Forney equipped with DCC. I want to add a sound chip that has an 8 pin connecter. The 8 pin socket is already used by the DCC chip. How do I attach, short of wiring it in to the individual wires to the motor, etc ?

Dave:
  I gave up on that idea, ripped out the circuit board and hardwired a Sunami.
  Sunami board lies crosswise on it side in coal bunker which left room for a decent speaker. Had to space coal load up slightly.
  Bachmann board has wire locations labeled.
  Soundtraxx has a new, smaller Sunami. This would make a much easier installation.

Loksound decoders utilitize an 8 pin NMRA plug. These are sound and DCC all in one. Personally I think the Tsunami's sound better though.
