Whistles of the Medium Tsunami Decoder

[michaelmohrmann]

That Santa Fe freight whistle very similar to one off a Norfolk & Western A class steam locomotive. like N&W # 1218.

Will the decapod run on 18" radius curves without derailements?

[mattgin]

Yep, infact it will do 15"

[HobbyTeen15]

and how long is it from coupler to coupler? I need to know if it will fit on my turntable.

[mattgin]

10 1/4"

Which one do you think would be good for a Pennsy K4 cause they don't have the banshee...or would the whistle I'm looking for would be in a light steam decoder??

[mattgin]

Well if your getting a medium tsunami the banshee would be the most prototypical, but I think the B&O 3 chime would sound good.

[CMRR401]

what one u think is more WM like?

[mattgin]

Well the C&S 801 kinda sounds like a hancock 3-chime which is what most wm engines had, but I usually use the B&O 3-chime since it seems to fit the loco more.

[Saugertiesrailfan]

i am so useing the 801 but i gots an important question, ow do u change the whistels? i am getting a dynamis so u proble wont know but still.....

[mattgin]

Well first off dont get a dynamis, instead get the Digitrax zephyr, dynamis is nice but the zephyr will give you ALOT more feautres and options, espically down the road when you expand your system. You change the whistle by changing whats called a CV (Configuration Variable) on the decoder, on the tsnuami's you can change jsut about everything, whistle, bell ring rate, indipendent volume for every single sound, # of air pumps, etc. This can only be done on a dcc system though.

[Saugertiesrailfan]

hehe i changed it too....................NCE power cab! lol anyways i hope itll sound good on my mountain if not im going with the 6 chime!

[NJT4111]

ROAD CHIME OR B&O!!

[Sher481]

Yard Mix!

[gw90]

I have the WM D 2-10-0 but in DC! (I live in the stone age!)

[nycsteamer5335]

thankyou very much, i like the c&s one the best

[Hyce777]

That one is on my sound on board 2-8-0, along with the B&0 and another.

[mattgin]

same here, but its a little to deep for my decapod, plus the B&O 3 chime is the closest to WM
