Hi there I was hoping to get info where to get the best sound decoder for a mantua hudson it already has a can motor installed. Tia.
Depending on the stall current rating of you can motor (which probably shouldn't be nearly as high as the original open-frame motors), I would recommend a Soundtraxx Tsunami TSU-2200 sound decoder with a keep-alive capacitor, and probably a 28mm square 8-ohm speaker. There should be plenty of room in the Mantua Hudson tender (I have six Mantua steamers converted with this system). I would contact Soundtraxx to see what version they now have and if they recommend a different speaker. You will have to drill some holes in the tender chassis plate to let the sound out. I think you will be quite happy with this system.Hi there I was hoping to get info where to get the best sound decoder for a mantua hudson it already has a can motor installed. Tia.
I agree with trailrider. Since it already has a can motor, there is enough space in the tender for just about any decoder and speaker combination you want. .Hi there I was hoping to get info where to get the best sound decoder for a mantua hudson it already has a can motor installed. Tia.
