Below is what one did. Sounds like you have to pull the PC board.

I think the loco has a spot for a 28 mm round speaker. My BLI F7 and F3 had a spot for a 28 mm speaker.

The below fellow has a lot of good info about SoundTraxx Tsunami and DCC. Look in Curriculum.

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.

Easy can be a relative term. I have not seen the inside of the loco.

Decoder for HO Scale BLI SD40-2
Posted by natescarbary on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 7:55 PM

Hello all!

I have a question about getting a decoder for a Broadway Limited SD40-2. What would be the easiest type of decoder to just "plug" in to the board? If I was considering sound, what would be the best decoder to go with that would go in the easiest and sound fairly good? A good basic decoder? A good sound decoder?

Thank You for the help,

Nate
