Hi!
I'm building a very small indoor G-Scale layout using just one engine. I don't want to open the engine to put a DCC sound decoder into it (I don't know if it has a socket), so I thought: how about using the decoder outside the engine, connecting the motor control to the tracks and the sound output to a computer aktive sound system (I've got several). Do you think that there may be some problems with this setup? What decoder would you recommend (for an USA trains S4)?
