I'm holding off on sound until the TCS decoders hit the street. I read somewhere that will be RSN (real soon now).

Hi,

I'm an HO guy and just want to express my admiration for anyone that can wire in a sound decoder/speaker into N scale locos!   WOW!

ENJOY  !

Thank you Pete, I may have to splurge and get one for each of my current loco's I'll find a way to shoehorn it into an Atlas RS1 shell yet!

While I am mostly HO scale I have installed a couple of sound decoders in N scale steam locos. I am perfectly happy with the Loksound Select brand of decoder. Their micro size should be a good fit. I stuffed one in the ash pan of an HO scale switcher tucked under the motor.

Which Decoders will I need for a Kato AC4400CW and a Kato SD70MAC? 

I will also be getting a DCC system soon.
