Has anyone made the suggestion to sell tsunami equiped tenders by themselves . I all ready have a couple of Bachmann spectrum engines and would like to add sound to them. All I need is a sound equiped tender. Not another loco, just the tender. Thanks in advance. Paul

I don't remember seeing such a suggestion, good idea though.

Insomnia again?  ;D ;D

I called Soundtraxx this morning, they are considering supplying Tsunamis with NMRA plug installed, seems they get lots of requests. 

I have a couple of USRA Medium tenders on hand, think I'll add a medium steam in one of them.  Does anyone have a suggestion for the speaker?  Tonys seems to have a good selection.

Use one of the new Hi-Bass speakers, especially if you only have room for one.

I recently installed one with a Tsunami in an H0 pacific and it sounds as good
as my on30 2-8-0's with twin regular speakers.
I am going to use them in my on30 4-4-0's which have very small tenders.

You may want to consider a micro Tsunami for space reasons, they handle .75a .

Thanks,Tim
I listened to the "Hi-Bass" demo at Tonys, does sound pretty good. I have lots of room for the one amp version in my tenders, and they are about $15 cheaper.

My first experience with sound was factory equipped, I was not pleased with the source or quality.  Hopefully I can improve it with a custom install. I am not an audiophile, but I want the sound to be somewhat realistic.

The Tsunami has an audio equalizer that allows you to alter the sound
to suit your acoustic taste.

Yes, now I remember the tech at Soundtraxx mentioning that. I only have the EZ Command at the present, but if I get into this sound thing, I will probably pick up a Power Cab for decoder adjustments.

I'm not one for jumping into things, but reading the forum has given me lots of inspiration.  At least I learned what NOT to do.  :D

If you jump to the NCE power cab you'll love it and ask yourself why you didn't get it first.

Hey Paul,
I've been hinting for a Power Cab for Christmas. If I'm extra nice and Santa delivers, will you teach me how to use it? Of course I'll have the buttons in braille.  :D

Oh darn, Santa says I have to be nice to you too.  >:(

They should make a unit that talks, that would be cool. They would have to include a few expletives to keep me in line.   ;D

I don't think you'd respond well to audio like," Wrong button, you big dummy" "What?, you blind?" "You come from the shallow end of the gene pool?"
I don't believe in Santa, so I can be as rotten to you as I like ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You say your not one to jump into things, so whats that brown stuff on your boot? ??? ??? ???

If you do get the PowerCab, and I highly recommend it, also get the USB adaptor.

With JMRI's Decoder Pro software on your computer you can program anything with ease.

If you need any help my E-Mail is right there with my name.

I know that you unlike most people read the manuals, so you should be ok.

If you remember I stomped on you last week. Oh, sorry, Santa is watching.  ;D

Thanks for the offer, I have the manual on my puter so I can enlarge the print. I'm not a tinkerer, if it works I don't break it.
