DCC And Sound For An 0-6-0

In the past many small locomotives presented a challenge when it came to installing a DCC decoder, and sound was totally out of the picture. However advances in miniaturization of sound decoders, stay alive devices, and speakers have now made this task possible although you do often have to get a bit creative with the installation. In this video I'll show how you can install all these components in a Bachmann GWR 0-6-0 and still have room left for weight without having to fill the cab with unsightly wires and components.
