Genset sound decoder?
Posted by BNSF3704 on Friday, November 13, 2009 10:16 PM

I have recently pre-ordered one of the Atlas NRE Gensets and wondered if any of the Soundtraxx Tsunami Sound decoders would be remotely close to what a Genset sounds like.  I have never saw a Genset in person, since I live no where near a BNSF yard, even though the mainline is not too far away.  Are the Cummins QSK19L engines turbo charged or not?  I would assume so to increase efficiency.

 The big question is how often will the alarm bells go off?  WinkTongue 

I've heard these aren't the most reliable, lots of moving parts to do the job.
