I just bought 2 Proto 2000 sd60's and would like to put sound in one of them. I just wanted to know if anyone here has done this and if so where did you put the speaker, Thanks Jim.

I recently purchased a undecorated Proto 2000 SD-60 and sent the shell off to my custom painter. He removed the stock cab and built a custom Norfolk Southern Crescent cab, attached it to the shell and then painted the shell up to represent the Norfolk Southern Veterans locomotive. While he was doing all of that, I milled down some of the stock weight of the locomotive making room for a Tsunami DCC Sound decoder and 2 Railmaster Hobbies speakers. I mounted one over the rear truck and the second speaker in front of where the decoder is mounted.
