QSI Manual is HUGE!

[DigitalGriffin]

I was wondering why my LL P2K and BLI with QSI sound didn't include a detailed listing of register's/CV's to control it.

Interestingly enough the "Chuff" sound for QSI changes based on the delay ACCEL/DECEL settings in CV3 & CV4. A heavier load (A full coal drag for example) would accelerate slower than an engine only load. Well they didn't include a detailed listing of values for the CVs. By default this is not enabled because CV3 and CV4 are set to 0 by default.

After going online, I found out why BLI & LL didn't include the QSI maual with the train. That manual is a hefty 184 pages! I think I killed a couple trees printing this one out.!

Any ways, I thought it was an interesting little fact for anyone who might have skiped the small print in manuals.

I printed it a couple of years ago when I bought my BLI Hudson. To save paper, I printed the odd pages
and then flipped the stack over and printed the even pages on the back. It still took a lot of paper.

The sad thing is, it is probably out dated. I really should print a new copy... one of these days. Dave

I had a look online in anticipation of my new arrivals (still waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'm glad I've got broadband. I think I saved it on the hardrive somewhere? Oh No, download again!!

Yes Dave, the one there now is Version 3, Pat Quinn just mentioned it was there in the past couple of days. I had downloaded the older one a while back, when my father in law was waiting for his GG-1. BLI had a link to it on their site. This new one comes right from the QSI site.
There is a WEALTH of great info in there - including (why I'm not sure) complete prototype operating info for the UP Veranda turbines (ie the Lionel model).
Guess I have to get this surplus double-sided laser printer back in operation soon. I don;t mind reading off my computer, but I'd like to put a hardcopy in a binder for easier reference when I'm all the way down in the basement - my computer is on the third floor, what used to be the attic until it was finished out. I've already started a DCC binder with other useful info in it.
