EMD 567 Sound

Back in August of last year I took up the challenge of installing sound.  I was inspired by watching a video where the modeler installed sound in a small tank engine.  He really gave me the confidence.

Now with sound chips becoming more realistic and less gimmicky, I did some research and decided to purchase the latest Soundtraxx Tsunami 2 chips.  One thing I really liked about this chip was the working dynamic brakes. After taking a huge risk and parting with $150 for the sound chip and two speakers, I found myself with the challenge of installing it in my B Class loco.

So with some trepidation, and working slowly and carefully, I installed the sound chip and speakers and over an entire weekend, I was able to get the installation completed.  There were a few retries when trying to get the shell to sit tightly.  I was really pleased with the outcome.
Here are some photos of the install and a couple of videos.

Note how the headlight automatically turns on as the loco rolls, then turns off.

Dyno's sound fantastic!

Pretty cool!
