Bachmann GS4 DCC upgrade
Posted by stocksj on Friday, January 8, 2010 7:46 AM

Hi,

 Last weekend I pickup a Bachmann DCC GS4 SP Daylight 4-8-4. From looking at the info diagram in the package it looks like it can be upgraded in the tender with a better decoder and sound. Does anyone done this and have any recommendations?

Correction, has anyone done an upgrade/replacement of the decoder with sound?

 

 Thanks Jim

Just swap out the stock decoder (8-pin) with the sound decoder of your choice.

there is a speaker mount allready in the tender, ready for your speaker.

When in doubt, rule #1 applies  Central Missouri Railroad Association cmrraclub.com
