On30 / Re: Tsunami sound equipped locomotives question?
February 16, 2010, 10:48:05 PM
All,

Thanks for the responses. I have a Digitrax system with a booster and the Soundtraxx technical manual. A couple of CVs I am have problems with are:

CV 49 & 50: setting both to 15 should enable dynamo + lighting
CV113: setting to 200 should shutdown the sound on the decoder after 50 sec (between the user & technical manuals there is a difference in multiplication factors)  I have this working on older Soundtraxx decoders.

All of these problems might be conflicts with setting of other CVs, but I have runout of guesses!

On30 / Tsunami sound equipped locomotives question?
February 13, 2010, 01:11:05 PM
I have a Shay and 2-6-6-2 equipped with Bachmann installed Tsunami sound decoders.  I have noticed a number of the CVs do not seem to function as described in the Tsunami manual. The functions in the ~0 - 30 range all seem to work. When I try to remap some of the function keys or higher CV > 30 I do not seem to get the predicted results even though the data reads are correct. Is this not a full version of the Tsunami? If so does anyone know which CVs are programmable? Some of the changes maybe me missreading / not understanding the manual but a few of the changes seemed straight forward!

Did you the full size or micro Tsunami? It sound like you removed the Bachmann interface board also?

On30 / Peco 0n30 Turntable

Has anyone used the Peco 0n30 turntable? Does it go together well? What type of shaft and wiring mechanism does it use? Would you recommend it?

On30 / 2-6-6-2 Cabs

Which models of the new 2-6-6-2 have wood cabs? A previous post mentioned that there were both wood and steel cabs. The announcement posted does not say. I would like to get a wood cab on order.

It is my mistake on the Tsunami Micro not being covered When I looked on the Soundtraxx site they show the board uncovered. I went back and looked at the full size board and they show it uncovered also. I know it is covered on delivery. I do have the older SoundTraxx DSD-B2TCLC board installed currently and it was uncovered, but it is mounted to the existing Bachmann circuit board and has clearance on all sides. I am planning to use the existing speaker since it is already mounted and the precautions mentioned above have already been taken. Knowing that the new board is already covered is a big help. I was really concerned on how I was going to insulate the board without overheating it and I am glad to know the micro will fit. Thanks for the help.

On30 / Soundtraxx Tsunami Installation in Climax
August 19, 2009, 09:22:31 PM
Has anyone installed a Soundtraxx Tsunami micro in a 0n30 Climax? It has a little less room than the Shay. I have the older PNP Soundtraxx unit installed currently, but without a stay alive capacitor it is not the smoothest runner. I am curious about installation room (plan to used wood load > space) and how the decoder was insulated since it does not come with a covering?

On30 / Bachmann/Soundtraxx 2-8-0 and San Juan Decals
October 16, 2007, 11:19:58 PM
When using the provided San Juan decals on the Bachmann 2-8-0 modified  by Soundtraxx with sound is a gloss coat required before applying the decals for best results or is the as received finish acceptable?
