Looking for a Sound Decoder for my Athearn P42

[Tim H]

Hello everyone, I am wanting to install a sound decoder for the first time. I have the HO Athearn Amtrak Phase V P42 locomotive. It is my understanding that the internals are the same as a Dash 8. I can get the LokSound #72466 with the sounds for the Dash 8-40BP installed locally. I was wondering if this decoder had the appropriate sounds and horn for the P42.

Here are the specs for that decoder:

I am also open to any other decoder suggestions. I haven't made my mind up about a brand yet.

Thanks!

Tim

Thanks for that info. I guess I can't go wrong with any of them.

Dear Tim
I've been away from the main line for 13 years now so I can't verify for sure but Amtrak used the 5 chime Nathan horn on almost everything I've heard prior to that. Maybe someone will verify what was on the P42.
