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!
