UK Monday—Need DCC Sound, Try Econami UK Steam Decoders (283)

Many UK modelers may not be aware of an economical option for adding DCC sound to their UK locos--the SoundTraxx Econami decoders made specifically for UK modelers. These small DCC decoders offer an impressive array of sounds and features often found only in more expensive decoders. I have found that I can install Econami decoders in my UK locos for about half what a LokSound or Zimo decoder would cost. So sit back as I introduce you to these great decoders and I'll also let you see and hear some of my loco installations. You can also go to the following website where you can listen to the entire range of prototype whistle and loco sounds. Note: SoundTraxx also offers the ECO-200, a slightly larger 2 amp version with the same sounds.
