Title: SoundTraxx Current Keeper
Post by: richg on May 07, 2014, 10:40:09 AM
Since Bachmann uses SoundTraxx decoders, this should interest users here.

Connecting might be an issue for some, though.
We should see more details on the Internet soon.
Standard Keep Alive like another decoder company sells.

I wonder how it would effect having to make emergency stops on the layout?

I use NCE DCC and it has an "Emergency" stop button.  So, not a real problem, unless the engine derails completely, then I can see a problem.  :-)

Same here. I have used DIY stay alive and works almost as good.

Below is a good link about stay alive, keep alive, same thing as current keeper.

Study the info. This guy speaks from experience, not opinion. He usually tries it out.
