    I saw this new Drop-In Sound Announcement for E, F and PA locos from Soundtraxx. I think that this is noteworthy as Drop-In sound is a big-deal for N-Scale. The kit includes Tsunami2 decoder board, speaker with baffle, LEDs wire and tape. The application note says that it takes 1-hour to do the installation. - Tonkphilip

    While this is great and all, who's E, F and PA units are the decoders for?

    OK Kato it is. You didn't say that in the first post so I was not sure.

    For E8’s, decoder fits but not the speaker with any of the provided baffles. Waiting for a response from them before I hack into the chassis.

    Soundtraxx now has a YouTube video (Soundraxx site/reference/videos/youtube), showing the installation and sounds in a Kato F3. I think the plugNplay factor with just two wires to solder for the speaker, is a good step for N-Gauge sound! Agreed, a bigger speaker could be added by sawing away the metal inside the fuel tank. - tonkphilip
