Have your Kato N Scale GG1 modified with DCC Sound professionally installed by TopHobbyTrains
DCC Sound Custom Installation.
Here is what we do:
- Dissemble the loco
- Cut 2 slots in upper frame to allow decoder placement
- Mill 2 Speaker chambers on either end of the bottom of the frame
- Cut and modify the light board to provide track pickup and light placement (We reuse the manufacturer LEDs)
- Hard wire the LokSound Micro decoder
- Wire in 2 50339 LokSound speakers
- Modify shell to accept decoder height (This mod is not seen once the loco is assembled)
- Test loco at various speed over turnouts and hills
We are very pleased with the outcome of this installation. The horn and bell are very reminiscent of the original. The LokSound Micro provides very precise motor control and realistic operation.
With the use of the LokSound programmer you can modify the sounds to fit your individual preferences
