Does 1 F40PH, 10 P42s, 2 FP7s, 4 F7Bs, 2 F7As, 1 F3A, and 2 F3Bs count? And I only bought the F40PH to be a stand in for AMTK 406. The adapter board is good for all those locomotives.

17 F units (F3A, F3B, F7A, F7B), 4 F40PH, 4 P42DC. All will get Loksound via these adapter boards. One F40PH needs a repaint to NJT, and two F units need mechanism swaps (have the old lead sled mechanisms).

2 months on, and I am still extremely happy with this set up. I have 7 units running these boards, 2 using the sound decoder, the other 5 are just Lokpilots. I can't believe I had not started using the ESU decoder sooner, they are so nice, and so versatile.

I may attack a random GN SD45 I have laying around as my next ESU Loksound install.... Still deciding on that one.....
