Soundtraxx Decoder Announcement at National Train Show

On the first day of the National Train Show Soundtraxx announced new Tsunami2 Sound Decoders specific to EMD Diesels and steam locomotives.

Tsunami EMD-2 Decoder

This decoder includes eight new diesel engine sounds:

• 567 12 cylinder no transition
• 567C 16 cylinder non-turbo
• 645E 12 cylinder non-turbo
• 645E 12 cylinder turbo
• 645F 16 cylinder turbo
• 645E 20 cylinder turbo
• 710G 12 cylinder
• 710G 16 cylinder

[Author's Note]

A very good reference on these different engines is discussed here including which locomotive models had which engine. Notice that the 567D (turbo) and the dual 567 (E units) are not included with this decoder. For those engine sounds you'll have to get the original Tsunami2 for EMD engines. Isn't this what got Soundtraxx in a bind before? This decoder for this engine, that decoder for that engine. Hope it doesn't get much worse.

The EMD-2 decoder includes more than 50 sound effects, including engine startup, 14 bells, and more than 40 air horns. Also contains Reactive Diesel Dynamic Digital Exhaust. TSU-1100, $129.95; TSU-2200, $124.95; TSU-21PNEM, $109.95; TSU-PNP, $109.95; and TSU-4400, $179.95.

Tsunami Steam-2 Decoder

This new decoder contains an expanded sound library with 28 new whistles, 12 bells, 10 air pumps, 8 dynamos, 10 exhaust chuffs, snifter valve, injectors, Johnson Bar, power reverse, firebox blower, side rod clank, and brake squeal.
This decoder replaces part# 884001 TSU-1100 Steam (Discontinued 08/2018).
