One thing you should know if you go loksound is that you DO NOT need the programmer, the only thing that does for you is allow you to download sounds from thier library, but the decoder will program normally on any programming track, you dont even need a booster like you do for some decoders. I suggest you order from Tonys Train Exchange, and if you do they will load whatever sounds you want on the loksound decoder before they ship it to you. In the steam sound market, Loksound and Tsunami are pretty equal. Loksound has a better drive, your motor will run quieter and more smoothly, but I have heard that the Tsunami has a little better sound. However, at this point Loksound is unquestionably the best decoder for diesel sound. The Tsunami is also cheaper, so that could factor in to your descision. Both are great decoders and you will be happy either way. Always the hardest part about installing sound is installing the speaker(s) in a way which will give you the best sound. Steam engines are easier than diesels because you have a nice big tender to work in, a good and common way to mount the speaker in a steam engine is to have the speaker facing down through the tender floor with holes drilled in the floor to let the sound out. You should also use a baffle/enclosure and make it as air-tight as possible.   Good luck
