The kit enables DCC‑ready Class 56 models that were not originally fitted with sound to gain full DCC sound functionality. Packaged in ESU branding, the contents are: a LokSound 5 DCC decoder with a 21MTC interface, an ESU passive‑radiator speaker (24 mm × 55 mm, 4 Ω), and the appropriate wire harness with a 2‑pin, 1.25 mm pitch plug.
