The Tsunami2 TSU-PNP8
The TSU-PNP8 is a universal factory board replacement sound decoder suitable for use in many manufacturer’s diesel models such as those made by Atlas, Athearn, and InterMountain Models. It is suitable for a wide variety of models from HO to S scale.
This decoder includes a connector to easily add a CurrentKeeper (P.N. 810140 or 810160) to maintain performance over dirty track and switches.
DYNAMIC DIGITAL EXHAUST
For added realism, you’ll love our reactive Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) feature. When your locomotive is traveling across flat terrain and simply maintaining speed, you will hear your locomotive chugging along. But, when the locomotive encounters a grade and the engineer applies more throttle to get the train up the hill, the engine sounds will automatically react and reflect the increase of power needed to crest the hill. DDE accomplishes this by calculating the changes in strain or load on the motor and adjusting the exhaust to appropriately simulate the work the engineer would be doing to the throttle of the engine. This gives Tsunami2 the ability to create the most realistic experience possible.

ALCO RSD...
I like the features Soundtraxx offers. The equalizer brings out the tonal quality and the Digital Dynamic Exhaust (DDE) adds realism to the operation. DDE imitates how a real locomotive would sound as it ascends and descends grades by adjusting engine speed sound and volume. Louder and faster engine sound for uphill and reduced volume and engine speed down hill.

Excellent results from...
Installed the latest Tsunami2 - Alco in a RSD15 BLI and a Bowser C630 in recent weeks. The motivation for using the T2 over an Econami, was the availability of a wide variety of prime mover sounds. In real life, my loco models used the 251C version based on my research. What sounds! Clear sound with the characteristic Alco chug and grunt all through the throttle notches. Of course the usual wide range of horns, bells, etc were available but it was the sound which drive the choice.
