Bachmann HO RS-3 DCC Sound Installation
This installation features the ESU LokSound V4.0 sound decoder and custom fabricated enclosures with SuperSonic Mini speakers. We use the same speaker and custom enclosures in nearly all of our N scall installs.

Two factors lead us to favor the ESU LokSound decoder in many HO and nearly all N scale sound installations: small size & industry best motor control. This does not mean that the sound file quality is insignificant. In fact, it's very good, but if the decoder doesn't fit & the loco performance is jumpy, we're not having any fun.
The oversized enclosures are not a stock item but can be custom fabricated based on dimensions of the locomotive.
We show the shell modification which allowed just a little bit more vertical speaker size.
