I've got the Athearn RTR SW1500 that was released in 2015, engine number 9504 if that makes a difference. I'm looking to add DCC and, if possible, sound to the unit. I've found older posts about the previous version of the SW1500 but my understanding is a number of things were changed/updated for the later release. Is it still an involved process to add sound to this unit, or is it easier now?
Here is a possibility. Some might consider the SoundTraxx Econami. The TCS Wow is another possibility as is a Loksound. http://www.soundtraxx.com/documents/appnotes/SW1000&SW-1500App.pdf Also, SoundTraxx is close to revealing a new line of sound decoders. At least the link will give you some ideas. Rich
