This video shows the process for how to install a SoundTraxx Tsunami 2 TSU-KN1 DCC decoder into a N Scale Kato EMD P42DC Genesis locomotive. The P42 is mostly indistinguishable from the P40, and this decoder is made to work with F Units as well as the F40-PH live of locomotives from Kato.

Along the way, we make the ditch lights separately controllable, and program them to flash alternately when the horn is sounded, just like the prototypes do.

This is the first part of my long distance Amtrak train build, in honor of Amtrak's 50th anniversary. In the next episode, we'll add separately controllable marker lights as well as ditch lights to my other Kato N Scale P42DC.

The series will most likely conclude with the customization of the train set itself, adding interior lights to the coaches and marker lights to the rear of the train.

Special thanks to SoundTraxx for providing the TSU-KN1 decoder that was used in the making of this program.
