"Plug and Play" install with Soundtraxx
DSD-B280LC
The DSD-B280LC is specifically designed for
installation in the Spectrum Consolidation and Light
Mountain. It directly plugs into the 8-pin socket
in the tender. Soundtraxx provides a step by step
instruction sheet for this process with each
decoder. The built-in speaker has excellent volume
and sound quality with no modifications to the tender;
volume can be further improved by drilling small holes
in the coal load. This is the easiest steam
locomotive sound decoder installation.
Almost "Plug and Play" install with TCS
TH150DP
On the top of the TCS TH150DP decoder is
a part with a marking of "8.00". This
part is used to orient the decoder in relation to the
locomotive's cab during installation.

Bachmann has a capacitor
across the motor circuit that drastically
effects the speed curve when using a quiet
drive decoder. It causes an over speed
problem. It must be removed from the
circuit. Do this by simply cutting one lead
of the capacitor and bending it out of the
way. The capacitor is typically yellow and
usually has a marking of 105. |
