DCC Sound Value

[banjoman]

I know the DCC "Sound Value" sound card is installed on my Bachmann 4-6-0 locomotive. I know the sound card comes from Soundtraxx. Where can I find the actual sound card model - name? (Tsunami2? or Econami?  or what???) It would be helpful to have this info!
Thanks, Mike

To my knowledge they are what is called stripped down models. Not all features. That has been generally known for sometime.
I have an onboard 4-6-0 that I got about maybe eight years ago before this series and it did not have all the features of the Tsunami models I bought to install myself.
Some years ago when this started happening many thought they were being cheated since it was not a full Tsunami. I saw complaints in different forums. Some ripped them out.

You do not understand, SoundTraxx makes them to Bachmann standards. Cost cutting. Deal with it.
Just check the CV's. Many assumed.

Thanks, Rich. It is what it is, I'll just deal with it.

A few years ago SoundTrax came up with a line of motor only decoders. It was noted by many in other forums that they had issues matching up different decoder speeds. Check the SoundTraxx site The motor only match the sound decoders speeds.
