Hi folks.

I've never installed a DCC sound decoder before, but luckily my 0 scale Dapol 74xx is plug and play, MTC21 format. It has a housing for a 31mm speaker, which I cannot seem to find? What speaker would people recommend I use for this? I also will need to get a sound file, of course? Do I buy a decoder with a sound file on it, or do I program it somehow?

All the best,

I get better results from sugar cube speakers than round ones, even if you can find the right size.  Programming your own sounds is indeed possible but first you need to record the sounds you want and then you need to learn the skills needed to create a decoder project.  Far easier is to buy the sounds pre-loaded. Some suppliers now charge extra for the loaded sound project but others supply the decoder with the sounds at no extra cost.  Youchoos and Coastal  are two that I frequently use.
