I installed an MRC sound decoder into one of my Kato F units a while back. While I usually always have problems, this one went in without a hitch and it is now one of my favorite engines. I think it was a 1645 but I can't remember.
The sound quality is great, as is the locomotive controllability (is that a word?). My wife just bought me one of them new really expensive Athearn units with sound and I wouldn't tell her but my MRC Kato will outperform it.
