I know the DCC "Sound Value" sound card is installed on my Bachmann 4-6-0 locomotive. I know the sound card comes from Soundtraxx. Where can I find the actual sound card model - name? (Tsunami2? or Econami?  or what???) It would be helpful to have this info!
Thanks, Mike

Hello,

I've just purchased a Bachmann HO scale 4-6-0 Baldwin 52 steam locomotive. It came preloaded with DCC and a "DCC Sound Value card" (by Soundtraxx) on board. The train runs great - engine sounds are great. I want to change the sound of the steam whistle. I am running a Digitrax Zephyr Express controller. The manual that came with Digitrax says to refer to the sound decoder guide that came with the locomotive. What sound decoder guide? I didn't receive one. I got a warranty card with explanation. I got a "Quick Start Guide". Nothing I got had a list CV's, what they do, or how to get to them. What type of decoder is on board? Should I be contacting SoundTraxx?

Now, in all fairness, I am almost 80 years old and do not have a real great knowledge of electronics. But, is there a manual with the CV's listed? AND, how to install or modify CV's. I'm sure it's probably pilot error.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks, Mike

I am in the process of building a new HO layout. It will be set in the Colorado mountains.
I want to use a Durango Silverton locomotive and tender and passenger cars. The only locomotive I can find in HO scale is the "Durango Silverton" train set from Bachmann. Blackstone has one, but wrong scale.
A couple of questions:
1. Can I purchase JUST locomotive and tender and passenger cars? NOT the track and power supply.
2. Is that Bachmann locomotive offered with DCC? Sound, lights. etc.?
3. Can DCC be installed either before or after purchase?
Thanks in advance for any info.
