Right now the only factory installed sound equipped locos are broadway Limited Imports,Atlas,Proto 2000,Lionel had 2 ho scale engines and Atheren just released a Challenger.All the above except the Atheren use QSI sound systems,Atheren uses a MRC sound system.There are a couple of manf selling sound equipped decoders as after market add ons Soundtraxx and MRC.I read yesterday on one of the yahoo news groups that Life Like Proto 2000 might be selling qsi sound systems as after market add ons for their line of engines. As far as wiring if your turnout is connected to a reverse loop you will have to isolate the track ,wire power feeders seperately ,and either change the polarity manually like with an old atlas switch controller,or wire in a power reverser that does this for you.If it is on a dead end siding there are no other wiring other than the normall track powerSince you are using ez track i have no experience with this and if possible i'm sure someone will reply with the answer..There was just another post about this topic should be page two or three, dcc and shelf layout,you might want to read thru it got alot of good info and comments on all the advantages and disadvantages as seen by the users here in the forum.Good Luck Have FUN Terry.
