When you get the time get in touch with me. I bought a Digitrax system but have decided I am gonna stay with the Airwire system. If you are interested in a trade I would consider the extra Shay you have.
Let me know or come to one of the meetings and we will talk

I remeber seeing a topic saying the rear truck of the 55 ton Shay has a tendecy to lift off the track when put in reverse or going over some swithecs or curves.
  Mine did that yesterday at the mall and we put some extra weight on the rear tender and it sovled the problem. I plan on putting a little more lead in rear car and it will solve the problem
   Only problem i am having is getting Tsunali Board to increas CV values.

Got my own reply. Hooked up a Digitrax DCC setup today on test track and the lights worked as they are supposed to work. Found out by looking at the Tsunami manual that all of the CV's can be adjusted to increase the sound of the effects that are available on the decoder. Took me a little while to get hooked up but now cannot wait to get to NW Mall on Sat to really put the engine to the test.

 Just opened a New Three truck shay with Tsunami sound etc. Do not have dcc unit yet.
Ran on dc linear power. When throttle in forward, the rear light is on and when reverse
the front light is on. When in forward and throttle depressed the engine ran fine but had three toots as in reverse. What is the problem.
