Just use your executive power !
thanks for the info. now' to persuede the wife..
SoundTraxx makes a light board replacement sound decoder for Atlas units.
Use a 16 X 35 MM speaker and mount over the rear truck.
Should work great.
If it has a light board, it shouldn't be a problem. Look on the Soundtraxx web site for an AT type. Usually you can replace the original light board with an AT-1000 type sound decoder.
The biggest problem is going to be finding a place for the speaker. I usually mount my speakers in the cab, but that means I have to remove any details or figures that are in the cab.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
yes indeed.
Are we working on a HO scale unit?
just curious to see if any of you have ever tried to fit a snd decoder in an atlas gp7. i looked at mine today and i don't see alot of room. is it doable?
