In this video, I demonstrate how I add DCC and sound to an Athearn N Scale SD70. This is a regular SD70, not a wide body SD70, so I had to use a very narrow decoder. Wide body N scale trains offer more space, which provides a lot of space for bigger decoders, but not this one!

I also used a 10mm round PC speaker which sounds OK but could be better. In a future episode I'll show you a way to include a speaker with a legitimate enclosure that improves the sound.
