HO Berkshire 2-8-4 DCC Ready

[cuadrature]

Hello:

I recently purchased a Bachmann HO 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive that's DCC ready, but has no sound.  Is it possible to buy a sound card for this locomotive, perhaps from Bachmann itself? I've been exploring their website, but have not been able to locate what I'm looking for.

Any assistance you may give me will be very much appreciated.

The engines aren't DCC ready, they're DCC equipped.

As for sound, MRC and Soundtraxx both currently sell steam sound decoders. The new Bachmann 2-8-4 comes with sound enclosure mounts and holes molded into the tender floor, so it's only a matter of time before Bachmann starts selling them with DCC and sound preinstalled.

Good Afternoon,

     If I were to put sound in the berkshire,  I would go with the Tsunami heavy steam.   The chuff is more of a stacato(sp?) or "shotgun" chuff than the medium steam and that is what the berks sound like to me.   For any other heavy steam,  I like the medium steam chuff sound.
