I have a solution for TMCC or Legacy locomotives that have sound issues over switches and the like. The good news is, it doesn't involve leaky alkaline batteries. You can get them with battery clips for locomotives that have the battery cable, and with the battery connector for direct connection to the RS-Lite audio board for newer Legacy that doesn't include the battery cable. Once and done, install this "battery" and you never have to install another one.
John,
After spending $1700 on the engine I certainly don't have a problem with buying one of these so I can run it. However I have two questions. First, do you think this will void the warranty? Second, I am not skilled as you are in train repair. How feasible is it for a novice to install one of these. I have a vision of opening the tender and having all sorts of things pop out
Thanks
