Fantastic Digital Sound - Click here to hear sound

Ideal for PIKO G Mogul and 0-6-0 Loco with Tender.

This sound kit is made for easy installation into PIKO steam locomotives, such as the Mogul or 0-6-0 with Tender.
These locos have been factory-prepared for this sound kit. This sound kit can also be installed in other PIKO locos,
as well as other brands of steam locos, with varying degrees of ease.

The heart of this kit is a state-of-the-art high-quality digital steam sound decoder (circuit board) developed
exclusively for PIKO by SoundTraxx®. This sound decoder is “dual mode”, enabling enjoyment of the model’s
numerous sophisticated features on either Analog DC or Digital / DCC operation. The sound decoder senses which
kind of power is being supplied to it and responds automatically, with no switches to throw or connections to change

Steam Sound Effects:

The sound decoder includes over ten sound effects. Depending on the effect, these are generated either
continuously, automatically, or as controlled by the user

  • Steam Exhaust (Chuff)
  • Whistle
  • Short Whistle
  • Bell
  • Air Pump (Compressor)
  • Blower
  • Brake Release
  • Dynamo
  • Steam Release
  • Coal Shoveling (factory default is set to “on”, but can be turned off using a Digital system, for both Analog DC
    and Digital / DCC operation)

Documents included with the kit:

Use the CV table for decoder configuration via PIKO or Massoth Central Station & Navigator or other DCC programmer such as the SPROG II or SPROG III programmer/central station.

Technical Summary:

  • The steam sound decoder performs numerous functions, on both Analog DC and Digital / DCC:
  • Motor control – All power to the motor goes through the sound decoder, enabling proper coordination of the
    locomotive’s movement with other operating features.
  • Lighting – The sound decoder provides a regulated supply of 5 volts for directional front and rear headlights.
    The “forward” light illuminates automatically, according to the direction of travel.
  • Smoke – The sound decoder provides a regulated supply of 5 volts to the smoke unit for excellent operation
    even when the loco is standing still or moving slowly.
  • Sound – The authentic sounds of a real steam locomotive are digitally reproduced through the powerful 3-watt
    audio amplifier. All sounds are polyphonic; one sound will never interrupt another.
