Each will also receive a DCC upgrade to a Plux-22 Digital Command Control (DCC) decoder socket, while DCC sound-fitted models will feature a ZIMO MS series sound decoder with YouChoos sound files. The sound project will also feature station destination announcements to match the various destination boards supplied with each of the models.
