The SoundTraxx 884008 TSU-21PNEM Tsunami 2 Sound Decoder will not work with the 21-Pin connector in the Heisler.

Replace the mobile decoder in the Heisler with a SoundTraxx 884007 TSU-2200 Stream-2 decoder.
You will also have to replace the installed speaker with a 2 Watt, 8-Ohm  speaker of your choice. (28mm (1") Round Speaker SoundTraxx PN 810153) and add 1K resistor in each lighting circuit lead

An aside. . .
Since early 2012 Bachmann N-scale turnouts have been wired all routes live. Before early 2012, Bachmann N-scale turnouts were wired power routing.

Bachmann uses three terminal twin coil switch machine in their turnouts.  The Bachmann turnout green 3-wire -- middle wire is common.

Power to the Bachmann turnout switch machine must be momentary else the switch machine will burn out.

repivarnik,

What type Bachmann turnouts do you have? manual, remote or DCC decoder equipped?

According to product documentation in the Bachmann ONLINE STORE,
  The Digital Commander train set includes 1 manual turnout – left
  The E-Z Track Expander Set Includes 1 remote turnout-left, 1 remote turnout-right

The manual and remote type turnouts are not equipped with DCC decoder and thus the instructions provided by Desert Rose are not applicable.

Ted, Group,

If PNP Big Hauler 4-6-0 is acceptable to most members, then lets agree to start using it to keep things consistent when we refer to it. 

If it does have firebox flicker, that would be a great way to identify the new PNP Big Hauler 4-6-0 when a power source is available.  So if anyone can confirm it please do so and I will add it to the ID info. 

Bach-man, Inside Track, members, can you confirm??

Bill

Bill,
I do not have a new 4-6-0 in hand but FYI

Features include
• load-synchronized LEDs in firebox and ashpan for realistic
fire glow
• complete backhead detail including operating firebox door

from manual https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/4-6-0Manual2020.pdf

an aside,
The majority of the time, if used,  Bachmann Trains uses BIG HAULARS not BIG HAULAR

Did you use the BBS embed code with my links?

That's the way, I was trying attachments....

Greg

Greg, I did use SMF Bulletin Board Code Image Tags with your links to display the photo.

To show your links within Image Tags,  I am using Code Tags to preserve formatting of code and avoid parsing.

As I said Bill, you can see by the links, they reference YOUR emails, which of course only you have access to.

Ted sent me a couple more pictures:

all these pictures are on my "Big Hauler" page, but the 7th Gen is at the bottom of the page.

(It's about impossible to upload pictures here, the file size restriction says 192k, but then 128k, and then it "broke" saying the buffer was full...)

There were only four locos flown in for the show.
NERCS is installing a RailPro battery/ sound setup in
the painted-unlettered loco.  It will be on display and operated at
their booth.
The other three will be on display at the Star Hobby booth.
Visit them there!
Have fun at the convention!

The Bach-man,

I am not familiar with NERCS. Are you using NERCS for Don Sweet's  RCS of NE -  Remote Control Systems of New England?

Update: The TSU-BH2 for steam now appears in SoundTraxx website but the decoder is not available, perhaps soon.

Update; just checked --- the TSU-BH2 for steam now does not appear in the SoundTraxx website.

Just got an e mail from Soundtraxx about the diesel decoders. Only shows on their web site.    Joe

"The SoundTraxx TSU-BH1 decoder is designed to replace the factory board in the following Bachmann Sound Value Diesel Models: FA-2, FB-2, S-4, E7-A, SD70ACe, ES44AC, GP30, GP38-2, GP40, GP7, and SD40-2."

Also, you will need to replace the factory installed speaker with a 2W capable speaker to use the TSU-BH1

=============

The TSU-BH2 for steam will appear in SoundTraxx website when it is available, perhaps soon.

You can now find in some magazines and retailers' websites a SoundTraxx ad for the Tsunami2 TSU-BH2, 8 function outputs decoder. The sound decoder is a replacement for the Sound Value factory installed decoder in Bachmann steam models:2-6-0, 2-8-0, 4-6-2, 4-8-4 Class J and GS4. The decoder does have Tsunami2 stream feature set. You will need to replace the factory installed speaker with a 2W capable speaker to use the TSU-BH2
