Plug-n-Play decoder, non-Plug-n-Play Loco?
#2
You'd be better served by replacing the TSU-AT1000 with a TSU-1000 which is a wired decoder. All of their sounds are avaialble on each model decoder - you aren't limited to a certain form factor decoder to get specific sounds. You can attach wires tot he right palces on the AT1000 but mounting it could be tricky, it's meant to snap right ont he existing mounting posts in an Athearn or Atlas loco I think you will have a much easier time with the plain TSU-1000 wired decoder.

And actually, Soundtraxx does not list the proper sound files for an S-2. An S-2 has a turbocharged 539 prime mover, Soundtraxx only has options with 244 and 251 prime movers. Proper sounds can be found in the QSI Revolution decoders. The Revolution-U/W is a hard wired decoder and is slightly smalelr than the Revolution-U, the U has a 9 pin plug to disconnect the decoder but it makes it slightly larger. Depending on space, and an S-2 is kinda small, the extra space savings might come in handy.
