Title: 2-4-4-2 Dynamic Digital Exhaust funtion
Post by: dutchbuilder on February 05, 2013, 06:34:57 AM
Or better stated, the lack of DDE.
I had a word with Soundtraxx and they tell me that because of the split motor/sound decoder it was not possible to incorporate this feature.
The PIC chips in the decoder and the soundboard can't communicate to each other.
Nothing but praise for the model but this is a big minus!

I hear ya, I dont care for the lack of decent whistles in the factory sound equipted Climax engine.  B&O 3 chime, peanut and DRGW single chime.  I was hoping for whistles such as used at Cass Scenic or the Climax from Durbin WV thats operational.  Also cant get the Dyna-lite to work right where the headlight grows in intensity as the generator spools up.  Tried setting it from light bulb to LED in decoder pro, didnt help.   Mike
