QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate Kevin: Dallee Electronics makes DCC compatible sound modules. They work with DCC but they are not decoders ... they are proprietary sound modules that can be made to work with a DCC decoder. What this means in practical terms is you must have a regular decoder in the loco already, and you install the Dallee sound module and wire it to the orange and gray motor output leads and the function leads of the loco decoder. This way, when you press F2, you get the whistle/horn, press F3 and you get the bell, and the sound module syncs/auto ratchets the exhaust sound. But to control thing like volume or feature settings you have to open up the loco and adjust pots or jumpers on the Dallee sound module board. You can find more info here: Diesel DCC compatible sound - http://www.dallee.com/dc_diesel.htm Steam DCC compatible sound - http://www.dallee.com/DC_steam.htm Electric DCC compatible sound - http://www.dallee.com/dc_electric.htm They have some nice variety that's not yet available in the pure Sound decoder arena!
