Notes:
General note: the first version of the Soundtraxx Tsunami may not be powerful enough for this locomotive. The second-generation Tsunami is more powerful. Alternatives are to use a separate motor-only DCC decoder, or replace the factory motor with a more efficient one.
The linked-to web page has lots of text and photos, and even includes a recommend set of CV settings for the decoder, to get you started.
