Modeling topic
A question for you DCC / Decoder Pro experts out there.
In my Soundbox for my layout I have three TSU-1000 decoders: one for ALCO, one for EMD, and one for GE. I've been using Decoder Pro to set some of the features, but I can't figure how to set one feature; that is, the "wind down" rate of the primer mover. Right now for all three decoders it takes too long (in my opinion) to "wind down" the prime mover sound as I reduce the throttle.
So, can someone please help me by providing info on what area (specifically) in Decoder Pro I need to adjust along with some suggested values?
Railfanning in Roseville, CA
Greetings,
First of all, I can't say enough how glad I am that this forum was created. That's been an annoying gap for quite some time.
Now for the questions: I'm planning to do some railfanning in the Roseville, CA area, and wondered if any of you had recommended times/locations to get the "most bang for my buck".
Thanks,

It's here! My new HH660 L&N #10 Atlas Gold locomotive!
My Fathers Day gift has arrived, and of course I had to check it out (just in case there was a problem with it) so I did a quick switching move. I really like it; however, it does have quite a bit of gear noise in that I can hear it over the QSI sound. I'll break it in and see if it improves (yes, there is plenty of lube on the gears). Here's a short video of it in action:

Virginian & Appalachian Route Map 2.0
Hello Everyone,
After some time spent looking at my existing map and routings of the Virginian & Appalachian railway, I've decided to make some revisions. Some of these revisions involved adjusting existing routes to provide more accurate mileage, however, a large part of the revisions had to do with actually replacing existing routings with new ones. For example, I ended up changing the V&A main-line across the entire state of West Virginia as well as the mountain crossings through the Blue Ridge and Cumberland ranges of the Appalachians.
