I like this technology, but I'm waiting for onboard sound that is as good as DCC before I jump in.

Hi jonnyspeed,

The Neil Stanton S-CAB system (http://www.s-cab.com/), that I use in my engines, supports the Soundtraxx Tsunami. Essentially it is a radio-frequency receiver hard-wired to a DCC decoder of your choice (from the ones he supports). So, there is no difference in sound features or qualities, since it uses the same DCC decoder.

For those of you reading this and are O-scale modelers, S-CAB now has 4- and 8-amp decoders available.

Disclaimer: I have no financial interests in S-CAB, other than being a satisfied customer. I do, however, love battery-powered locomotives, regardless of the manufacturer of the electronics; it is the wave of the future. I am glad that Darby took the time to document and share his installation. Very well done!
