Can anyone suggest a DCC Dual-mode sound decoder to install an A-B set of Athearn Genesis F-units?

SoundTraxx Tsunami. Email Litchfield Station and ask them. I have and they do answer. Free shipping over $75.00 and they ship promptly.

The Tsunami has lighting for 1.5 volt bulbs and no resistor needed. Lighting for 12 to 14 volt bulbs and with LED's, a 750 to 1,000 ohm resistor.

I am using the Tsunami TSU-AT1000, number, 828040, EMD 567 in a BLI F7 A/B set. Both powered with a 28mm speaker. They were recommended by Litchfield. I made my own speaker baffles.

All the Tsunami documentation and sound samples are at the SoundTraxx site with a decoder selection chart.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
