  • How were you able to take the shell off? Do you really have to disassemble the trucks to remove it?

  • @graysonator123 No, as long as you have a small enough tool to open the tabs holding the shell on.

  • Quick question- How hard was it to put the Tsunami decoder in that?

    I have an NS SD70M-2, and I'm toying with the idea of doing that.

  • Honestly, it is not very easy. I consider myself a "very advanced" DCC person, and this one took a while. The hardest part is removing the shell of all things. The second hardest part is figuring out the rat nest of wires. If you do install a DCC decoder, you will lose the coupler function, and are limited to the sound functions of your Tsunami. I'm glad I changed them out, I did on all three of my SD70ACes. While I loved the MTH sound effects, the Tsunami is vetter with other DCC engines.

  • Which Sd-70macs do you like better the kato ones or the athearns

  • The Kato ones are nice, the Athearn have a little better detail. The Kato's will stand up better than the Athearn... it is a toss up.

  • @BNSF5608 this is not soundtraxx this person is mistaken mth has proto sound 3 sound traxx tsunami has an e bell and k5lla horn

  • Would you mind making a tutorial on how to get that thing apart? I can't get the damn shell off.

  • I was watching ray william johnson 20 mins ago how thee HELL did i get here

  • @zmsanders

    Hey, just a heads up, the TSU-1000 827115 will not fit under the DCC Ready MTH SD70ACe/M2 hood. I know first hand. The only way to get it to fit is to cut out the narrow part of the long hood and rebuild a custom styrene piece. The decoder is too thick and MTH didnt leave enough room. You can just barely get a AT1000 Tsunami in it but its tight and you will lose the ACe/M2 sounds.

  • Awesome sound SD70 ACe`s

  • Damn those bad boy's sound good! How does the momentum work? I watched another vid where it had a much more prototypical throttle up before the train started to move. Saw another where the loco's were moving before the brake release and throttle up. I bought a SD 60M today Athearn Gen. with no sound. Waiting to find out which of the sound systems are better. So far for me it's a toss up between QSI and Tsunami.

  • I Stole Big Al's BNSF SD70ACe LOL No i'am just kidding, I Dont have one yet, Nice video

  • how much did the MTH model cost?
