After some installation tips from forum friends, particularly a link to Litchfield station, I made a neat and successful installation in an Atlas 8-40B. However, my dealer had mistakenly provided the wrong decoder, and before I caught it, I had EMD sounds coming from a GE locomotive. The dealer swapped it for the correct one and I made the installation but noticed that the GE sounds were MUCH quieter than the EMD. Around the same time I purchased a dealer-installed sound decoder in a Proto SD 50. It was much louder, but the horn would not turn off once it was turned on, and then the engine produced sound but would not move. My dealer is being very cooperative and is replacing both decoders since he also feels the GE is too quiet. Horn sounds are plenty loud, indicating no problem with speaker installation, but engine exhaust is whisper quiet. <br /> <br />Any similar experiences out there?
