Addind a TCS WOW V4 Sound System to the 4-6-0

[RailMan63]

There is a new addition to my little On30 locomotive collection.It is the Bachman ET&WNC #12 4-6-0 locomotive. It has DCC,and needs a sound system.
I can't find the Bachmann sound board for the 4-6-0.
Has anybody ever installed a TCS WOW V4 DCC system in one of these Bachmann 4-6-0's? And can you please post instructions on how to install it in the 4-6-0.
Do you think that I would better off to wait until I find the proper Bachmann sound board?
I really like the MRC Loco Genie DCC System that I've installed in the other loco, but the TCS WOW V4 sounds so much better than the MRC does.
Here's a video of the #12 on it's first test:

This link shows an installation for a HO 4-6-0. No idea how different from a ON30. It would be the motor current the big difference. I wonder what SoundTraxx recommends? They have a decoder selector page.

I can't recall who makes it, but someone makes a add-on sound system with recorded sounds from ET&WNC # 12 at Tweetsie RR.
If I had one without sound and needed it, that is for sure what I'd use!

Thanks Rich. I looked up the Soundtraxx system.I then tried finding an instructional video on youtube on how to install it in the Bachmann 4-6-0, but there was nothing there that I found helpful.
Soundtraxx has their own youtube channel, but there's nothing specifically for the 4-6-0,which is weird.
I checked out the link that you included, and the HO 4-6-0 board looks very different than what's in the On30 version.
I was hoping to find that these other DCC Systems(especially the Soundtraxx one) would be plug-and -play with minimal disassembly and soldering required.
Oh,well. Looks like I may be stuck putting another MRC system in this new loco as well.

Finding the system that has the sounds made by the actual #12 is what I'm thinking,too. It would be nice!

I found the system that says it has #12's whistle, but it's not for on-board sound apparently...

Nice. But at $612.00 I think that I'll pass.Just a little too pricey for my blood.LOL!
