N scale MRC and Aztec sound and DCC system
I’ve upgraded one of my Atlas GP38 locomotives to MRC’s sound decoder with an Aztec modified frame and I love it. Very cool effect, my 2 year old little boy loves it when I blow the horn for him.
Your article doesn’t specify what version of Atlas engines these include. For example, are you referring to the latest version of the SD7/9 or the original Atlas/Kato SD7/9. I suspect this service is for the former but would appreciate that clarified.
The technical part of installation was preety good described, but i wonder how realistic the sound was.

One element that seemed to avoided is the cost. How much are you being charged for this operation, the parts and labor?

I think that it’s a great thing to see we are getting sound for N scale. I personally haven’t had the chance to hear what a sound system in this scale would perduce, but it should add that much more to us looking for more…

I am willing to convert my Dash 8s to sound but just need the final ‘push’ of opinions given by fellow modelers who had already converted sound any Atlas engine. I would like to know their evaluation as to how close to the real thing the MRC decoder sounds, not just the novelty that there is an option for sound in N scale.

I am looking forward to adding sound to this n-scale r/r. Same question as allready stated. How realistic is the sound. Can you add speakers to the layout? Can an Atlas RS-3 be converted? Or an RS-ll? And how much money are we talking about? Thanks for the hard work that went into all of this.

A Dynamic Duo finally takes on the daunting task of sound in N scale. I am sure that the sound technicians will seek excellence forthwith!

I am extremely pleased to see efforts of this nature. N scale just keeps getting better!

This is a great step forward for N scale. I only run steam, so this doesn’t directly affect me, but I support the efforts put forth here as it benefits the hobby as a whole. I’ve heard this product and the sound is quite realistic. It’s surprising what can be done with such tiny equipment. I’ll be looking forward to future innovations in this area of technology. Thanks to everyone who is working to make N scale move forward.

Thanks for the effort and I’ll try the service.
