RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2023 13 hours ago, Gloucester Road said: Bit of a change of pace. DCC and sound added today to my Scaletrains CN tier 4 GEVO. Quite a few years ago I added sound to some of my US N scale locos using the MRC decoders. They were very good for their time but the build quality of them meant that a number of locos certain functions didnt work even after a factory reset. The later Tsunami factory fitted sound was much better but by then I had decided to go down the route of the Soundtraxx Surroundtrax system with under board speakers. I ought to try one of the latest decoders in one of our Scaletrains locos. Superb figure painting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound is pretty good too; though UK sound seems to have more sounds if you want play factor (station abiance, wheel sounds, etc.) Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
