Reply to "Rats nest DCC install on Weaver VO-1000"

Well his DSX are EMD and Alco and that is a Baldwin.    IF you go that route, I would use the Alco, it has more of the baldwin sound than the EMD.     I'm not sure how many people can tell them all apart.    The Alcos do have a rather rattling type idle sound which makes them quite fun.   

I have some Weaver RS3s and FAs that I could use some DSX for also.    I have a couple from a friend and they work fine.    I wish they still made them.   

Both Digtrax and MRC still make a sound only decoder.   I have a couple of each and they each aboug 6 different diesels on them.    I like the MRC sound better.   Not sure if either have a baldwin.

I find the 408 is a really great decoder for motor control and can drive about 6 other options for lights and what not.    There is an amp limit on the options however.
