Tsunami technology
This new decoder is based on 10-year-old Tsunami technology.
It works and plays well with a loco that has a Tsunami decoder
installed. That’s fine for backwards compatibility. I must
assume that there is a new generation of sound decoders com-
ing some time from SoundTraxx. It would be very short-sighted
of them to not design this new product to work with a new
loco decoder line.
Installation
For a look at one installation, see Mr. DCC’s Workbench after
this article.
You will need track power connections inside your cars to con-
nect the SoundCar. In my September 2013 column on passen-
ger car lighting
I discussed some methods of
adding power pickup to a car. I’m sure you will think of more
ways, too.
