BUMPSince I am working (for a change); there is not a lot of progress.I have been operating for an hour or two per day, and fixing small things as I go.  Nothing photo wise on the layout,  I got a new switch tower for Arock, now I need one for Hardspot.  It is just sitting on top of the ground and has not been weathered yet, still shiny plastic.The main event is that my Tsunami came in for the 4-6-0.  The tender is so small that there is no room for the Tsunami (boy is it large) and a speaker.  I removed the coal load and mounted the speaker on top of the tender deck and will make a new coal load to cover it.  I also added a rear light to the tender.  I am not impressed with the sound on the Light Steam Tsunami.  The whistle(s) are weak, the bell (at it's fastest rate -1) is a little too slow, I can only get three chuffs per driver revolution not four, and the overall volume seems low (even with a larger speaker).  sound quality is good and the motor control is great.  The once balky at low speed engine will now idle up the side of the mountain and speed steps work great.  The Tsunami was worth the price just for the motor control and should sound better when I get the coal load installed (to direct the sound somewhat).  It was a joy to program, on the bench, with Decoder pro; and on the layout with my Prodigy Advance.I will report as new information becomes available (i.e., when I can get away from work enough to get something done to show).Here is a picture of the 4-6-0 still needing the new coal load and some paint touchup:[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/121006-030_r.jpg[/IMG]Thanks for looking in.
