With an older Consolidation, some folks install the speaker pointing up through the coal load... lots of room up there. You have to drill 80-90 small holes in the coal load to let the sound out. Totally worth it, man.
Quote from: bob kaplan on March 13, 2018, 11:41:43 AMIf your 2-8-0 Consolidation has an 8 pin socket then it should be no problem. Some older versions do not have an 8 pin socket, and some original run versions I think were split frame even but this predates the Spectrum line if I recall correctly. If yours was made anytime in the past 15 years or so it should be fairly straightforward. If you have an older version though I would say not worth the time and effort at that point unless you are an expert with DCC and sound installs.
If someone want to put a sound decoder into a Bachmann consolidation, would it be a simple matter of replacing the decoder and putting a speaker in the tender? Have you done it?.....is it difficult? Would it be worth it? Thanks.
