Nice video made that look easy 👍 I just gave a old loco new life with a TSU 2200 2amp always fun . Soudtraxxs is my #1 go to for superb sound and flawless operation
Nice conversion George. DCC ready makes things a lot easier. Back in November I converted a pair of older Athearn Genesis yellow box SD75M diesels (BNSF H2) using the TSU-PNP deocders because these didn't have any DCC interface on the light boards. I also used your 28 mm speakers as well, but I screwed them in because I didn't know about your adhesive gaskets (that would have made this conversion, plus the conversions of a FP45 and a SD45-2, easier). Watching the video it looks like you have some new material for the next blooper video.
Not necessarily ‘sound ready’ but it is DCC ready with a NMRA 8-pin plug. On the diagram, I do not see a speaker port, but the diagram on their website is on the original release of this model many years ago, before sound was so prominent in the hobby, so they may have added a speaker port on the latest run, but I do not have that diagram to look at. I’d ask Bachmann to be sure, but if not, then it can be made for sound, but there likely could be some milling involved. (We have not looked at this model specifically to see what it would take for sound.)
As always, I appreciate your help. Great product by the way, well done.
Thank you!

Be careful if you do use the screws to mount the speaker. One of the screws will hit the drive shaft if you go too far.
Thanks for the tip.
I still haven't recovered from the last video... 8- |
Valentines? lol

George talks fast when he gets excited.
