Freightliner 70001 gets the DCC Sound treatment today...

MX644D 21pin sound decoder is easy enough. The narrow body means we are limited on speaker choice, so opt for a pair of Zimo
Dumbo LS18X13X13-1Ws in the provided recess, which fit comfortably and connected in parallel sound really great. We attempt to
include the sample 470uF/25V capacitor for stay-alive, but this proves just too big preventing the body from going back on. The
loco runs well anyway, so the cap is removed.



Back together, a very simple install, and looking good exiting the tunnel!
