We are, however, all back working in the office and the best avenues to reach us are either by the most appropriate email address noted on the Contact Page or by calling This affects all manufacturers and nobody knows when the pipeline of parts will become more stable.
SoundTraxx will take all necessary steps to reduce the impact to our product deliveries. If for no other reason, that is the most compelling for me to have become a Soundtraxx customer for life! So far have found the Soundtraxx Decoders to be the easiest and most logical to understand and adjust.
They can be adjusted to how you want your Loco to run, not to how the Manufacturer thinks it should run. I use the Ops mode mostly as it gives immediate feedback on adjustments. Some Decoders limit the use of Ops mode. Many use computer programs to make CV changes but this can be more time consuming than a quick adjust in Ops mode. From F-Units to Geeps this popular power house can still be found in many locomotives riding the rails today.
While the recording is from a A many 12cyl B and C equipped locos sounded very similar. Once the most ubiquitous locomotive in New South Wales, Australia, they are based on Alco frames and prime movers, using General Electric later Associated Electrical Industries electrical equipment.
Recorded from a B Over the years little changed in terms of sound until the "Dash-8" series of GE locomotives was introduced. During this time many locos started receiving exhaust silencers and the shape of the exhaust changed to the "Bathtub" type. This created a subtle change in sound.
Locomotives: B B C C and others. The following locomotives would use early 16cyl FDL configurations, but this file would work for them as it is very close. While it proved to be quite successful, it sadly outlived its original manufacturer, ALCO who closed their doors in The prime mover is actually still available to purchase today from Fairbanks Morse for use in Marine, Generator, and locomotive uses. The series was an evolution of the earlier series and a precursor to the later series.
The series engines entered production in All engines utilize forced induction, with either a Roots blower or a turbocharger. The series has a maximum engine speed of between and revolutions per minute rpm , an increase over the to rpm maximum speed for the series.
The ALCO engine was developed in response to the perceived drawback that ALCO's line of diesel switchers had a restricted field of vision because of the high hood. F26, F27, and F28 must be turned off to return to normal mode.
This project has "Load" mode. While you are using load mode, the prime mover will notch up 1 or more notches based on primary load settings CV The throttle notches up using speed instead of requested speed while using the load feature. F29 must be turned off to return to normal mode. In MANY cases this cannot even be bypassed on modern locos. Before the FRA mandated this feature on new locomotives the bell was of course turned on and off separately.
Some locomotives were delivered with a manual bell and have been converted to an automatic bell. This creates a challenge in sound file creation. We realize that not every loco with a particular prime mover had this feature. As such we have built in an option to turn the feature on and off. We will set the default in the file to be what is most appropriate for the particular file. Recorded from Great Smoky Mountains Railroad We would like to give a special thanks to the GSMR for their help in this project.
It was a successor to the SW7 and SW9. Compared to its direct predecessor, the SW9, the SW differed in that it used the improved and more reliable C engine, compared to the SW9's B engine. Late SWs built in were instead built with the E cylinder engine. Most of the locomotive's external features were unchanged from the SW9, making distinguishing between the two models difficult.
Several types of trucks were available, including Flexicoil trucks and the standard Blomberg B trucks. It has switcher type exhaust with 2 exhaust stacks. The series was an evolution of the earlier series and a precursor to the later series. The series engines entered production in All engines utilize forced induction, with either a Roots blower or a turbocharger. The series has a maximum engine speed of between and revolutions per minute rpm , an increase over the to rpm maximum speed for the series.
This file is also equipped with a Smart Start feature that cycles the prime mover on and off at intervals of your choice if the throttle is left at Idle and the loco is stopped. It has 2 exhaust stacks. The ALCO engine was developed in response to the perceived drawback that ALCO's line of diesel switchers had a restricted field of vision because of the high hood. Both Baldwin and EMC were offering diesel switchers with a lower engine hood that the trainmen could see over.
