NASA scientists have developed a TSUNAMI alert & tracking system known as GUARDIAN--to be discussed in an accompanying post here on my Facebook page. This NOAA animation of a tsunami is revealing. NASA explains that tsunamis are HUGE WAVES triggered by earthquakes which displace a huge amount of sea water--producing mammoth waves in the process. While comparatively rare, compared to hurricanes and other natural disaster, tsunamis can be truly devastating. Tsunami waves can be 100 feet tall and w

In Tsunami2 decoders, CV 223 is used to alter the tone and pitch of the prime mover sound effect. This feature allows you to create unique sounding locomotives in a consist, all while using the same prime mover sound selection. A great example for how to configure this feature is a consist of 3 EMD F-units. Each locomotive will be using the “EMD 567 Non-Turbo” sound selection to replicate the chug and whine of these iconic locomotives. If you were to program CV 223 to a value of 168 in the lead

With Tsunami2 Decoders you can have your locomotives auto-start when you apply power to your track or you can disable this and manually start up your diesel locomotives. We also have a quiet mode feature that you can use to minimize excess sound on your layout when you are not running a locomotive. Since steam engines take hours to 'start-up' we do not have a sound sequence or this that you can play, but you can use quiet mode in CV 113 to keep the steam locos that you are not using quiet.

Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoders are packed full of sound and lighting features to bring your model trains to life! In this video, George talks about our dimming and brightness features. With Tsunami2 you can adjust the brightness of any light with a CV. You can also adjust the overall brightness of all of your lights with a simple CV Change. CVs Used in this video: CV 51: FX3 Configuration (F24 by default) CV 61: Brightness Register 1 CV 62: Brightness Register 2 CV 63: Dimmer Level CV 64: Maste
