<p>[quote user="dragenrider"]I placed a LokSound Micro in a Bachmann 70 tonner and a Bachmann cheapie decoder in a 44. There is room for a Micro if you are creative. Then, you'll have better motor control and sound![/quote]</p><p>Contacted LokSound on this. Their position is that this is an N scale decoder will not be under warranty if used in anything but N scale. Best to double check with them again.</p><p>Or, you can put a much less expensive DSX sound only decoder in a car adress it with your loco and have it trail your switchers. Of course you are always linked to that car if you want sound....but what a sound! My car has 4 28X40mm oval speakers wired in series and parallel drawing 8ohms that way and firing through the floor. May not have the extensive sound repetoire of Loksound but quality is infinitly superior to anything you can fit into a switcher!</p>
