As far as I know, the 0-6-0s and 0-8-0s were outfitted with QSI decoders.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
I can't recall Walthers ever equipping any of its steamers with other than QSI. They just started using Tsunamis about a year ago but I don't recall steamers being in the lineup.....don't think any Heritage stuff even was offered last year.
Bruce, enter programming on the main, or Ops, select CV 3, inertia, and input a value of 30. You can undo it later if you don't like inertia, or a slow build up of speed. However, by doing this simple step, a QSI will voice the change to you. It will say, in a loud male voice, "CV 3 equals three-zero." If it is silent, it is another brand, 99% likely to be a Tsunami.

Yes, read the values in CVs 7 and 8. CV8 is the manufacturer identity, and CV7 is the decoder version. A value of 113 in CV8 is QSI, and 141 is SoundTraxx (Tsunami).
Is there any to tell which system I have short of taking the tender shell off?

If its a QSI decoder then you can download the manual here. http://www.qsisolutions.com/downloads/index.html
If its a Tsunami decoder then you can find a manual here. http://www.soundtraxx.com/manuals.php
For the factory sound decoders there is not much sound changes to be made. Most of the QSI sound CVs will be an indexed CV. On an indexed CV there will be more than one CV to change to get the desired response from the decoder.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
I have a heritage 0-6-0 and I would like to change the sounds. There doesn't appear to be any tables in the instructions. Are these values posted somewhere?
