Hi folks
I have boughten the following HO Scale steam engines and there all dcc ready and all spectrums.I have the digitrax chief ( not sure if this matters) Can some of use fine folks tell me what would be my best bet for the following things I'd like to accomplish as I trust that many of use have come across these steamers with installing decoders...
I want to put sound in 4 of the steams and I'd like to know which would be the best ones for installing a soundtrax tsunami decoder.
The others that do not get sound I would like to install a decoder that does not have sound but that will give lites and motor.
I have 10 steamers here so obviously I'm looking for lites and motor decoder that will not murder my savings acct.
What type of decoder would be the best over all that will just plug into the dcc ready sockets will one type work in all of the steams?
And which steams would be best candidate for the sound decoder and what would be needed along with the snd decoder for the install?
