Bill, I was able to fiddle with the sound controls rather easily. So far I adjusted the master sound, changed the horn and boosted the horn level higher than the master sound. It all worked quite easily. I also tried messing with the horn reverb to no noticeable effect.
It seems I spent about a century doing a bunch of work on this one SD60. The first decoder I somehow fried probing wires to figure out the headlight wiring. The second decoder was a cinch except for the programming. This was all after making a decoder platform that fastens to the 4 screws holding down the bearings of the large and long flywheel. The major work has been devising frame-mounted coupler pads. Two steps forward one step back sort of thing with frequent trips to my LHS for way too much plastic for what I need it for. They look good except for finding a paint match. I will try it out tonight at Ken's swapping it for the SD60 already in the coal train consist.
