Title: fireman Fred on strike?
Post by: dutchbuilder on July 01, 2011, 08:20:30 AM
This one is for the bach man or anyone who knows.
I have a 2-6-6-2 with tsunami sound.
What type of decoder is installed? like light steam or medium steam.
and how do i get fireman fred to start his job , at this moment he seames to be on strike!
I tried setting cv 201 to 255 and cv 148 to 128 but no reply.
Or is fred not employed on this decoder?
i have several soundtraxx tsunamies, i installed myself and fred's clones are working their BEEP BEEP of!

I believe the "OEM" sound decoders do not have F.F. and a lot of the the features the regular tsunami have. I have put TSU-1000's in all my loco's except I purchased the 4-6-0 with OEM sound and I must admit I wish I would have put a tsu-1000 in to get all the great features.

I had the same thought when i bought my forney, i had tsu1000's in other loco's but got a great deal with oem sound installed even had a thread here asking the same thing. You dont get fireman fred with oem sound tsunami's, you get silent sam.  :'(

Thanks guys, i will have to shovel coal myself!!! LOL!
I installed a tsu 1000 C class in a Connie, i remodelled into a Mikado, and a tsu 1000 K class in my recently bought K27.
They work fine.
Have a look at my website.
