Soundtraxx Tsunami "coast" throttle cut-out feature

Sun, 2014-06-08 05:31 — mikeconfalone

There has been a lot of discussion on various threads about the recently-discovered Soundtraxx Tsunami "coast" feature/workaround. I outlined it in detail in the Allagash Ebooks - how to program it in, how to use it and the advantages of using it. In summary, diesel operations have been taken to a new level if you use Tsunami decoders. Frankly, it would be great if this became a feature of Tsunami and LokSound decoders, WITHOUT having to go through this workaround.

Prof mentioned the Soundtraxx Tsunami Soundcar. This really deserves its own thread.

What does everybody think of this? The concept is certainly cutting edge, and the effects very much needed, but we need more info and more demonstration.

A good friend of mines layout is featured in this video. I learned about operation from Bob a long time ago. This is the first that his railroad has been on video. According to Bob a 14 year old did the video. His handle is "Trainonbrains" . Hope you enjoy it.

Yep, that toy from the 1960's was used to create the tile roofing, the row boats and the canoe. I really was getting it to make clear windows for vehicles, but had some other ideas first. Got any other ideas. Hopefully I will get these done in the next week and get some finished photos posted.

And not because the owner called it quits.

I patronized this store when I wanted to find something from days gone by. The place was a historical land mark. Near by were the former East Rochester Despatch Car shops that build cars for the NYC.

The Friendship Train of 1947

Mon, 2014-05-26 11:07 — UPWilly

It started in Hollywood, California - my town. Rolling down Hollywood Blvd. in 1947. This was a post-WWII relief train. I felt it appropriate during this time of rememberance - Memorial Day 2014 - to post this bit of little known history.

Resulted in three trains, each of about 100 freight cars, cross-country to the ports on the eastern seaboard from where the goods were then transported. I was reminded of this when seeing it today on TCM. I direct you to sources of information:
