Braking Operations with Tsunami2 and Blunami Decoders

[@thomassalerno5203]

Thank you for a outstanding presentation on operations and prototypical use of the amenities of the Sountraxx decoders. I have (collect) various brands of H0 …no Bluebox or Bachman. I have about 61 units which include 5 B’s, of Western Pa roads including Fallen Flags. All are diesel early 1st and 2nd generation up-to and including the modern era. Mine are 100% Soundtraxx Tsunami 2 and Econami’s. Your product provides outstanding realism at its finest. These videos are great teaching tools which provide the value added unsurpassed in the industry. Please continue these operational videos. I look forward receiving your notifications. Thanks Again!

@@KingTrump2024brothers Carl and earl are at the yard throat. I never remember which is which. They’re twins. 😂😂 Thanks for watching!

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Hard little workers :D

[@Mikey-np1gg]

Very cool and realistic. Is there a way with Blunami to have the sounds of the rail cars bunching up and the wheel squeals and clickity clack when they are moving? Would that come from the loco alone or could you put sound in the cars themselves.

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

We have SoundCar that will work with Blunami in DCC, but we do not have a Blunami SoundCar yet.

[@JohnAPrescott]

Wish the SxT came with these....sigh.

The brake rate is easy to adjust.I turn up the air release so I know they are released.Other brands just aren't as user friendly.

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Thanks for the feedback, We are glad that you are enjoying our products!

[@mikesscale3149]

Fun video. My question is: Why did you not demonstrate the switching mode also?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

This video already ended up longer than intended. We can show off switching mode in a future video!

[@trapdriver7006]

Excellent informative video which I enjoyed watching and more on operations please.👍😃😃😃🚂🇬🇧

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Thanks, will do!

[@admiralseabass8993]

how do you get that nice little squealing sound when the locomotive comes to a stop?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

By using the brakes! Here are a few videos: kzbin.info?search_query=soundtraxx+brakes

[@ron045]

Running Blunami in an O scale engine battery powered. When i use either the independent brake or train brake, i can't get the train to remain still as i advance the throttle. I thought as the sounds reved up the engine was supposed to sit still until the brake is released?

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

how are you operating the App without your fingertips????

[@goaliegeorge]

I’m screen recording, so it’s not showing my fingers. I hope this helps..

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Yes, screen recording just shows you which buttons are pushed.

[@ck5644]

What braking rates do you use?

[@goaliegeorge]

My acceleration rate in CV 3 is 150, decel in CV 4 at 225. Then my independent brake rate in CV 117 is at 255, represent a -127 from 225 for a braking rate of 97. Automatic brake rate in CV 118 is set to 203 to represent a -75 from 225, or 150. I hope this helps.

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Thanks George.
