A good sound decorder for a Bachmann SP Daylight 4449

 I just got a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 with DCC, and I would like to add a sound decorder to it.  I would like to know what is a good sound decorder that would sound great in my Daylight?


Thanks,

Dan.

 Tsunami TSU-1000 Heavy Steam with a good sized speaker/baffle.

 You will have to open up the tender and look at the space available.  Get the biggest one in there with a baffle.

 It mesures 1 1/16" by 1".  And the gap between the floor and the decoarder is 5/16, but I guess it can be moved some were else.

 Measure the gap between the PC board mounting posts and get the round speaker that will fit flat between them.   After that step, the install is a breeze.

I think one of the Tsunami's whistle choices is in fact the 4449?? I wish their instructions listed which was which but I think it's been posted online somewhere.

BTW I saw 4449 "in person" for the first time Saturday morning, I'm going to have to get a model of it now !!!
