Re: BN SD9
Some pretty impressive progress, you sure it won't be done by the weekend?

Re: METRA F40PH HEP sound & driving coach effects
Okay, a former Metra car now in Nashville (so not conclusive) - this one suggests added ditch lights, removed side tail lights, red warning gyralight replaced by a plain red tail light?

Re: METRA F40PH HEP sound & driving coach effects

Re: METRA F40PH HEP sound & driving coach effects
To 1 - yes they are 'proper' F40PHs so the HEP comes from the main engine as per Amtrak's. To 2 - Can't recall what the ditchlight setup is though, will have a dig tonight & see what I can find! Bound to be some shots on YouTube that will help? To 3 - yes the cab cars also have ditch lights, the...

Re: DCC loco decoders.
Koos - to my mind/ear the big issue will be does it include a turbocharger sound, not the number of cylinders - the turbocharger changes the sound entirely!

Re: Indiana Railroad SD9043MACs
These KAT12s are a little on the lumpy side - I suspect they will probably fit into something like an Athearn SW1500 (which is the kind of loco where this tech is great) - but fitting that plus sound is a big ask. The other brand with stay-alives I've used I was never entirely happy with, although t...

Re: Indiana Railroad SD9043MACs
Wanted to try out TCS's new stay-alive fitted ones, so at present they have a pair of KAT12s. I don't have any sound in my fleet at present. The stay-alive feature is probably (again!) overkill in such huge 6 axle machines, so they may eventually get swapped to something smaller and 'switch-ier' - t...

Decoders now in and given some rudimentary tuning, so we'll see what they work like next weekend!

Re: Indiana Railroad SD9043MACs
Yep they are bonkersly big.
Decoders are in the mail i'm told, so they might appear for a quick run, but aren't likely to be properly tweaked by then.
Besides - a bit on the 'overkill' side for the layout we're running there!
