Thanks again Tom for a comprehensive answer to my probably naive question. I am totally a newbie to DCC etc. and you have answered so well that even I should be able to do this. (Hopefully) Appreciate your time and knowledge. Regards, ollietom.

Thanks a lot guts. That has answered my question perfectly. I do recall reading that the Climax, here in Victoria, Australia, was used specifically for logging in very hilly country, but the article didn't say anything about the speed. Lovely little engine! Regards, ollietom.

HO / Speed of Loco

Hi Folks. I have another question you may be able to help me wit, I hope! I have a Bachman HO 70 Ton 3 Truck Climax, and can't get any reasonable speed out of it. I have a Digitrax Super Empire Builder Xtra DCC Unit. Is the fault with the Loco, or can I adjust the speed on the Empire Builder? (At present, I can turn the speed control full up to 90, yet it doesn't make much difference!) Thanks, in anticipation, ollietom.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for that info. But there is a circuit board in both the engine and the tender. What is the small one in the tender for? You state to 'remove the one in the tender, and solder each wire as you go' - are the wires on the Tsunami not the same colors, and if not how does one know what wire to solder to what? Then, once soldered, where does the original circuit board go? So many questions, sorry. Regards, ollietom

Thanks so much for that info, and for the suggestion I should get it installed by a professional. I agree! Next time I purchase a Loco, I'll try and get it with sound installed! Regards,

I have a HO Bachman 70 ton 3 truck Climax (DCC) and was wondering how to fit sound to it? There doesn't seem to be any space in the Loco or Tender, as both have ? Boards in them. Please help! (I'm new to this forum, and to DCC, so please spell it out for me!) Thanks gang. Regards, ollietom1944
