I ordered the Athearn's New SD40-2 High Nose the other night in Norfolk southern. The order should be in soon. I also ordered a Soundtraxx Tsunami Sound decoder for an EMD 2nd Generation
with a prime mover of 645 for it.
One Problem though. This locomotive comes DCC ready with a quick plug chip board. Tsunami sound does not have a quick plug. Do I just unwire the board and wire in the tsunami decoder?
Help Appriciated.
Thanks!
:D

UPS... only have very bad experiences with this transporter ! Here in Canada it's a "No-no". Tried 3 times... never one without a load of problems. They even tried to charge me twice the same transport once.
After 3 times, I made myself a deal... never again.

Its been almost two weeks since I sent it and it is still not back, I am getting aggravated with Soundtraxx. I have an SD40-2 that I promised would be running at christmas for under the tree, but I still do not have my decoder.:mad:
