I also made a small movie about my new trench locomotive.
I have the WW1 version and scratchbuild some USA army rolling-stock using a Silhouette Cameo 3 and software.
You can also see a Kerr Stuart Joffre with WDLR rolling-stock sitting on the siding.
Also drawn and cut with the Cameo.
The two flat-cars were 3D printed by Shapeways.

I use brake fluid.

Nice.
Even here in the Netherlands, Malcolm Furlow was a big inspiration to me with his articles in the MR.

From one Dutchy to another , mooi man , netjes.

Here is a review i wrote a while ago.
It's a translation from Dutch to English.

I received the device on Thursday.
purchased on EBAY for 55 Euro + tax 22.70.
Is it interesting for that price?
A resounding NO.
The thing was put in a tenwheeler and put on a piece of track with 12V DC.
The decoder is a big boy.
It works, responds and there is sound.
I can remotely set the locomotive in motion and stop, whistle and bell work too.
Basic programming is also possible but, as I say, BASIC.
The big test done on the layout with DCC.
Programming on the rails is not possible.
So then back the programming track.
Is very cumbersome because you have to switch from programming track to normal mode every time.
For trying out the 17 types of flute and 20 different chuff sounds, that is a hell of a job.
I forget the 9 ring types.
The same thing that I have with my other MRCs I also get with this one.
After entering a new value in a resume I get an error.
Error 02, no feedback from the decoder.
If you then look at the result, the decoder has saved the value.
It may be my Lenz LHV100 but the acceleration and stop simulators (CV 3 and 4) do not work.
Back EMF is also questionable.
If I then take the remote from the Genie, I get a response, but the light goes on and off again.
The bell sounds 1x and then silence.
As a good radio ham I tested the maximum range of the transmitter.
According to the manufacturer, 75 Feet should be possible, +/- 25 meters.
Well forget it.
After about 6 meters (20 ft, my hallway is not longer, I already got problems.
Rounding the corner into the train room, even worce.
Conclusion; The idea is nice .... nice try, keep practicing.

You have an earlier incarnation of the 4-6-0.
The NMRA 8 pin connector is for a decoder or a decoder with sound incorporated.
The sound board you are showing is an add-on to a later build-in sound ready decoder.
That  decoder has a 21pin connector on the decoder pcb where you can connect the add-on board.
You don't have that one.

Ton

Is this what you can use?

p.s. i'm struggling with the new 0n30 trench engine with WOWSound.
I'm searching myself colourblind with their site.

I know about the decoders from ESU that you buy a blank decoder and have anything you like put into it.
Even if you like Beethoven's fifth , it can be done.

Ton

Does anyone know which type of WOW Sound decoder is being used?

Ton

Not necessary Rich, the ten wheeler has a motherboard with a 8 pin connector and resistors for the lighting onboard.

Ton

My mistake , I didn't look hard enough.
The sound modules are only for the decoders that are made to receive them and are not a replacement but more an add on.
I presume there is a 8 pin connector inside the tender?
The only thing you have to do is take the connected decoder out and stick the new one in.
Don't forget you will need a speaker and connect it to the new decoder.

Ton

I don't believe the D&RGW ever had a ten wheeler , however the RGS did , the #20.
I did a sympathetic rebuild on the ten wheeler and it can pass for the #20.
Sound decoder wise is used a Tsunami tsu1000 light steam.

Thanks Lee , I know about the "secret" compartment in the box.
After about 50 of those boxes i should know.
Bachmann included even two quick guides, but that is what it is , a quick guide.
I found this on the TCS site;
https://tcsdcc.com/4CVSteamV4
Looks promising but is not it.
More documentation will come soon , they say about the 0n30 class 10.
A bit late in my opinion.
I want to go deeper into the software so i need the complete tech manual as you can find for the Tsunami on their site.
I don't like to be led by the hand by the manufacturer on what i should or shouldn't know.

Meanwhile i am finishing three scratchbuild period correct box cars.

For the administrator.
After unsuccessfully trying to re-open my dutchbuilder account after upgrading to Windows 10 I had to make a new one.
You may delete the dutchbuilder account.
