QUOTE: Originally posted by mikebonellisr Just had to share...My LL heritage berkshire with a Tsunami sound decoder is my new favorite on my roster.The engine runs flawlesly and the Tsunami is everything they claim it to be.When you get someone like me,who knows ziltch about programing and DCC,able to get so much out of a system,I think they have something.I especially like the "short"whistle and the water fill sounds(i stop to fill up every chance I get)..The first chance I get,I'm going to tweek the sound unit..as soon as I can digest the 70 or so pages of directions in the manual.No I'm going to have to change my other 15 or so sound equipped engines to the Tsunami.The BLI engines I'll leave alone..They're good enough for now,but the others pale compared to tsunami...as you might tell,I'M THRILLED.
QUOTE: Originally posted by mikebonellisr I have my Berk lettered for N Y C and I have not changed the pre-set whistle yet.I'm going to go through the whistles over the weekend and as you suggested,add a little momentum...I'm having a ball with this one!

QUOTE: Originally posted by mikebonellisr randy,thanks for the lead.I printed out the post by Ogden Lamont and I think I'll try it later tonight or tommorow.I'm a little nervous about messing with the throttle settings,but I always have you guys here to bail me out. If I enable Option #3 on the T400, will that only enable when I have the Tsunami equipped loco's address selected?How will it affect any of my other sound equipped engines.QSI,SoundTraxx,Trix? I took a look at your T1,NYC did'nt run them,but they are great looking engines.I'm leaning towards getting one,undecorated,and lettering it for NYC.Heck,99.9% of the people that see my layout would'nt know the difference anyway.
