Tsunami in GE 45 tonner
Posted by strider on Monday, July 19, 2010 3:48 PM

Has anyone put a Tsunami in a Bachmann 45 tonner? I saw a Loksound in one on youtube but I've just ordered a Tsunami and want to get some advice from someone who's done one already before I install it.. Thanks for any help.

 I have put a LokSound Micro in a 44 ton. Search this forum for sound 44 ton. You can see what it looks like inside. If you pay close attention, you can hear both prime movers start.

Use the Micro-Tsunami and a 16mm x 35mm speaker. Litchfield Station can tell you which sound to use and they have free shipping over $75.00. I buy all my DCC stuff from them.

Don't know if the horn is correct but I am not a rivet counter.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I have looked at the sizses of both decoders and the Micro Tsunami should fit.
