I’ve have a major problem I tested it on the layout and on DC it runs 100% but just as I install the DCC sound decoder then there’s NO forward movement. Reverse works fine, lights and sound works perfectly… Model 0001644

However like any sound decoder the quality of the sound is in the speaker system. Always use the largest enclosed speaker you can fit in the locomotive. Don’t cheap out on the speakers. As for operation of the decoder they work very well. You do have less aux options, but few are used by most anyway. Mine came with the 26mm round enclosed speaker and they are very good. Good luck!

I do however use the NCR 4 function motor controllers not needing other functions …
