Nice vid. Love the sound. I do have one question if you don't mind. Are the sound cards a "Drop in" type? or do you have to replace the whole dcc card too? Thanks.

railfan456789,

Unfortunately the sound isn't the drop-in type. The engine wasn't DCC equipped so it didn't come with a decoder. Thus the sound decoder runs the motor, lights and the sound. I believe Digitrax makes a drop-in sound decoder for this model but the sounds you hear in the video are from Soundtraxx.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Cob, Well it gives me a direction. I just got tired of the sound from my engines, and wondered if there is "Drop in"type of sound cards.
