Installation This kit is very easy to install, obviously soldering is required, but no special tools are required other than a basic soldering iron and and solder and shrink tube from radio shack you should also have a small set of screwdrivers (the Stanley one from Walmart works) fits in the Atlas GP38-2 with only cutting off part of the rear weight. (Hack saw) Programming If you can read and are not deaf this is the easiest DCC decoder to program and select settings. All the settings are in "flow chart" type menus that are easily navigated with the excellent "Audio Assist" feature that talks you through programming your decoder. You don't need any special DCC throttle or computer software to program. I selected all of my sounds with my DigiTrax Zephyr 51. Operation and Sound This decoder produces the most solid slow speed operation out of the box. With no operational programming it moves the locomotive so slow that you can't tell if it's moving. It never ever lurches even at the slowest speed the momentum setting is high out of the box so you feel like you are running a real locomotive. The sound is very good quality and the horn is freakishly addictive. Even the bell is nice Thanks for reading this review I purchased my decoder from R. M.

This thing is superb! I have units with ESU decoders, and with the ease of installation, plus the way they make it a kit, makes this a no brained in that department. But the biggest surprise is the sound! Compared to the other brands, this unit puts them to shame. I will buy these from no on. If you decide to get TCS WOW sound, you will definitely not be disappointed!

A truly excellent electronic performer, and easy installation with the use of TCS website. I completely recommend it!

The load sensitive notching is incredible! You would swear there was a little diesel engine in your loco as it throttles up when climbing grades and throttles down when coasting. No other manufacturer has it. It is genuinely one of the coolest upgrades I have done in model RR'g.
