Sound only decoder for Gas Electric
Posted by B&Mbarn on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 7:54 PM

I have installed a non-sound decoder in my Bachmann Gas Electric and would like to add a sound only decoder which would produce motor sound at least something like the prototype.  Any suggestions for this application?

Check the web sites of the companies that make sound only decoders and see if they have such a thing available.  Digitrax ?  SoundTraxx ?  MRC ?  ESU LokSound ?  It all depends on whether they have a sound only decoder with the proper sounds that you're looking for.

Digitrax definitely did make one and it was programmable so you could load what you want onto it.   You might find a few of them still around.
