Scott, I have installed 3 Tsunamis in three of my brass CB&Q locos. Heavy
in the 4-8-4 05, medium in the 2-8-2 01A, and light in the 0-8-0 F2. I use
NCE DCC. The whistle choices are good, and I finally went with what I thought
they may have sounded like, since there doesn't seem to be any way to tell now
how they sounded that I know of. If anyone knows of a recording available I
sure would like to know about it.
To me the best thing about these decoders is not only the quality of the
sound, but the great number of sounds available to add to the realism of
running a steam loco. Also, if set up correctly using the appropriate CV's,
you can simulate the loco's sound under various loads and running conditions as
well as simulate realistic running, such as starting out or drifting to a stop.
A knowledgeable friend set mine up. He has since written an excellent
guide to setting up the various CV's, and I have written a piece describing
operating with Tsunamis. Both are to appear in the Feb. issue of the
Dispatcher's Office, the quarterly national publication of the Operations
Special Interest Group (OPSIG). Regards, Dick Wolter
