Do you have the list of active CVs in the installed Tsunami for the ALCO 2-6-0, Item No. 51805. I have been trying to adjust the speed curve for the locomotive but it does not work. There are probably several other features that are turned off compared to the full-featured Tsunami.

Mr. Bach-man
The Bachmann 2-8-0 with Sound on Board has a "Quick Start Guide" that references a "User's Guide" for the decoder. This guide was not in the box.

How do I get a copy of this guide? I can download as a pdf if it is available.

Mark,

You mention page 44 of my manual. What manual? I downloaded a manual from Soundtraxx for the normal Tsunami, but I did not get a manual for the Bachmann Psydo-nami. Page 44 of the other manual does not mention Optimizing the Hyperdrive... Therefore, there must be a different manual available.

Where did you get the manual you mention? The "Quick Start Guide" that came with the model mentions a "User's Guide" but it was not included in the box. I checked other boxes at the hobby shop and found no "User's Guide" in those boxes either. 

It would be nice if this "User's Guide" was available for download.

If your 2-8-0 is a Bachmann, it probably has an EZ Command decoder. Look at the decoder. Does it have black heatshrink around the decoder? There should be a product number like 44915 on the heatshrink.

This site has a manual in pdf format at http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/ez/index.php.

Hope this helps.

I just installed a Tsunami and cam in my Bachman 4-4-0. This synchronizes the chuffing to 4 per wheel rotation.

Sountraxx sells a fiberglass sheet that includes several wheels with spokes for different locomotives (rod engines, geared engines, etc.). By cutting out the appropriate wheel and glueing it to the inside of one driver; then setting up a wiper to rub again the spokes of the wheel, the chuffing can be synchronized exactly to the rotation of the drivers.

I prefer this approach since I have never been successful in soft synchronizing the chuffing. Although one can get close to proper sync'g for a specific load (number of cars), changing the load, or running the loco by itself messes up the sync'g.

I would also like to install a cam in the Bachmann 2-8-0 (Item 84501) that has a Tsunami "Sound on Board". However, there is not a loose wire on the Tsunami board that would go to the cam. Does anyone know which pin to solder a wire so the cam feature can be implemented?

Bachmann... can you answer this question?
