Does anyone know how to select the correct newer mFx w/sound decoder and speakers? I have spent quite some time on Marklin's website to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

In my opinion, the 60945 sound decoder will do. Full instructions come with the kit. The kit is supplied with a connector circuit board, which also provides the now standard 21 pin interface. Firstly, you remove the older decoder. The board slots into the older delta/digital installation base. Then the decoder plugs straight in to the new circuit board, using the 21 pin interface. I updated a 34157 with this kit. You should confirm this with your dealer. I usually email Marklin for confirmation, but they lately have not responded to emails, as advised here by other members. regards Kimball
