RMweb Gold BoD Posted November 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Facetious reply: yes, you could fit one but I’m not sure where and it wouldn’t do anything. Less facetious reply: some decoders are specified as sound decoders, having on board memory with recorded sounds to be replayed through a speaker. Others are non-sound decoders which only have motor and ‘lighting’ outputs. Sound decoders tend to be quite a bit more expensive. You need to ascertain what type of decoder you have. If it is a sound decoder there would be a speaker attached or specific pads ( see manual) to which you would solder the speaker. I’m not sure if Bachman produce any sound decoders but I am not up to date with their catalogue. Edited November 28, 2019 by BoD 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less facetious reply: some decoders are specified as sound decoders, Agree with BoD but would add - a lot of Bachmann electronics are re-badged ESU products. ESU are famous for their LokSound decoders and have been factory fitted on some Bachmann locos. Its possible you have a sound chip from them and the best source of information is via the Bachmann service knowledge base. http://service.Bachmann.co.uk/knowledge-base/decoders-dcc/ If you want to share a bit more detail about the decoder you have, more help may be available. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
