How do you do the start-up and shut-down on Athearn units? The club I'm at uses Digitrax DT400's

The 567 sound of the Tsunami is sweet! I'm a big fan of Tsunami and plan on installing one on my Genesis FP45. My criticism of Tsunami is the lack of synchronization between throttle rpms and locomotive movement. Not a big issue for road engines but for switching service where back and forth movements are frequent, it is obvious. Still overall, I like it and will go with Tsunami's and LokSound for my HO fleet. Thanks for posting this vid :-)

VERY realistic! I coud practically see the exhaust! I suppose that with models, that would be a bad thing... I thought my GP40's decoder was smoking one time. Scared the crud outta me... It was a cobweb....

@k2kkoos I meant Quantum Revolution of course.
Great video, thanks!
How do you acheive that subtle dusty weathered look on the GP9 and what do you use for ballast, it looks so real!

@ZetanCrisp
For the ballast I usedArizonaa Rock dirt and low desert soil. As for theweatheredd look. After I finished putting decals on I sprayed with a dull coat. I waited about 45 minutes and then used powders of gray, dirt and black. The dull coat was still just a bit tacky and they stuck well and blended in well.

@sitchad Thanks, it all looks so real.
Do the Tsunami chips have the option of manual throttle notching?

@ZetanCrisp
Yes, they can be set to auto notching or manual notching.

Both started out as P2K GP9's. Each was stripped and painted then detailed for each version. If you are going to strip the paint off one of these 91% alcohol works great. Soak it for about 8 hours and the paint comes right off.
