Just won an auction for a 2 6 6 6 with dcc and sound got it for 195 dollars. The pictures from the auction show a soundtraxx decoder. Anyone know how well do these run.
Those locomotives were delivered with an ESULoksound decoder. I didn’t like the sound files on mine, an early model with DCC/sound first offered in 2006, so I had a good friend install a Tsunami. The hooter whistle is quite good, but I don’t like the articulated steam sounds. I just haven’t gotten around to replacing it because I moved on to other things.
My locomotive runs quite reliably. Hopefully yours does as well.
Well that good to know thanks for the repl. Now i am wonder if it would be hard to replace the standard deocder with the Loksound one. the tender looks big enought that i might be able to put another speaker in it
Open the tender and post a picture. Size of speaker in it?
I would guess a Tsunami shrink wrapped decoder is in it. Plug in or hardwired?
I saw a non sound install at the TCS decoder site and an eight pin socket is in the loco.

not sure Rich i just got the pictures from ebay as the locomotive have not arrival yet. But judging from the view it looks like it can only fit one
