How To: Athearn RTR SD45T-2 Tsunami2 Part 1 - Installation

I am sharing with you my process as I installed a Soundtraxx Tsunami2 EMD2 PNP sound decoder board with Soundtraxx Minicube speakers in series in one of my personal engines. Athearn Ready to Roll DCC Ready Cotton Belt SD45T-2 Bicentennial.

This is the decoder installation only with mention of some light programming and I will upload a more thorough programming video of this locomotive at a later time.

I do want to thank my nephew Bryson for holding the camera while I do not have a tripod to capture this process. I do apologize that some of the video will be sideways and upside down as he tried to catch everything I was doing since my hands were constantly in the way. Enjoy!
