Where do you mount these decoders? In cars? In locos? Under the layout?

Jared, it depends on the use. If you take a look at the Soundtraxx
"Sound Car" flyer, it lists all the sounds. Most it seems would be mounted
in rolling stock (flat spots, brake squeal, clickity-clack, generator).
The decoder also has two lights and two hyper-effect leads, so I can see it
mounted in a caboose with say brake squeal and lights for the conductor's desk
and marker lights (most likely fed into fiber optics). Lighted passenger
cars with generator sounds would be a good use too.
I don't know if they could be mounted stationary, but some sounds would
lend themselves to it, especially flange squeal, which you would want from the
whole train, not an individual car.
