IHC Packing Plant and Cannery for my G&D Sorethroat Branch
Last week I received the IHC Packing Plant and Cannery kits, which I bought from a german

Atlas Alco HH660 sound decoder recommendation
I have an Atlas Alco HH660 DC loco that I'm going to install sound in. This diesel had the 539 non turbo engine.
What decoder/speaker would you recommend? I've seen several discussions on QSI & Tsunamis with the 539 sounds but would like to hear your comments, suggestions & pitfalls before I purchase any decoder.
Thanks

On3 scratch built engine house
This is my laser-cut engine house in ON3 scale I am testing mahogany plywood to give an appearance of weathered raw (unpainted) shiplap. I wanted to capture the varying shades of weathering from shaded brown under the eves, to sun-bleached, and mud-splashed at the bottom.
The window system is all laser cut by me. The 'glass' is plastic laminated to the mullions inside and out.
