    Has anyone tried the new Econami line of sound decoders? They have a class J whistle on board. May have to give this one a try on my recently purchased J!

    They are just now being delivered to dealers; I think it will be a while before enough of them are in the wild to get a good set of opinions. I have one on order to try in one of my steamers. I'll post my opinions when I get it and have a chance to try it out, but that's unlikely to be any time real soon.

    Just ordered one myself for my class J project. I hope to have it done in a week or so. I'll keep you posted as well

    OK so the Econami is now soldered on to the Bachmann class J. I have to say it sounds pretty damn great considering I used the small 15mm Soundtraxx speaker. The class J horn is a little rough to replicate on that kind of speaker, but i'm working with the EQ settings to pull it off. Next project is a similar set up for the EM-1 Here's a quick vid:
