Marklin 60976 Diesel sound decoder install to Marklin 30601.....

Have the new Marklin F7 #30601 that has a digital MFX decoder for headlights and directional control already factory installed.

This is an AC motor of course so no conversion kit would be necessary.

Looking to add sound using the Marklin 60976 Diesel sound decoder.....

Has anyone done this... thanks....

The pickup shoe is for power to the decoder. The decoder has a rectifier and runs everything in DC (including the motor).
