As I have come to understand it, both front and rear headlights are turned on and off manually and switched between dim and bright manually - no automatic light changes when you change

Well Mark, I'm trying to tell you all that I can, without telling you what I can't. Loco Lee of and line in

Lee, I think we all understand your enthusiasm for the new Titan Decoders; I admit you have sparked my interest. As you have said they will be orders of magnitude better than anything currently

Actualy Berry, There are up to 8 mics stratigicly placed on a locomotive at one time, so I can give you sound from all over the locomotive. Inside is just one of them. Loco Lee

Yes Mr Dixon, All of those things have been considered, and are alredy in the current line of decoders. You can change the mute, volume, and independent sound levels to anything you want. The QSI

Actualy Tren, That's one of the reasons that people have me program their locomotives. I try to perfectly balance all of the sound levels in the locomotive, and I base that off of thousands of

Ken, Would you explain Rule 17? I know it has to do with the light function when stopped/parked on a siding or main, but I'm just sure how the light works for "rule 17". I also have a HH660 and

There may be another reason why decoder sound files *should not* sound like the real locomotive sounds they are attempting to reproduce. It is called "sound contouring." The loudspeaker systems in

Lee, I certainly hope you are wrong about your last sentence; won't do any of us or QSI any good if they can't make enough decoders to meet demand! The big objection to QSI decoders has always been

That was one QSI Decoder "INSTALLED". Have many more factory installed units. When $$ permit I will be replacing them. Everybody seems to have missed an important part of this note. This feature

It would be interesting to set the distance ratio in a prototypical fashion. The Horn/Whistle is a predominant sound, much louder than anything else in real life. In all instances, it can be heard

After going through the Q2 Upgrade documentation - thanks for the link - in parallel with listening to several sound files, I am very impressed with its rich functionality, and possibilities. I also

Hi Lee, That may be the case with some diesels Today. But it also very much dewpends on where you are and the type. I made some tape recordings in the 1980's on the LS&I climbing upgrade from the ore

John -- We've talked about it on Tehachapi, including getting a DB meter in order to set decibel limits. Doesn't seem to have progressed much further than that because of all the considerations that

Actualy Colin, QSI has already thought about that, and I'm sure you'll love it. I also agree that most all layouts are too loud. If you stand next to the track, and close your eyes as a diesel

I noticed that the QSI equipped Atlas MP 15 locomotive I have has a noise suppression capacitor attached to each motor brush. I know they recommend removing these on Bachmann Spectrum

I am working on a BLI unit with a version 6 chip which seems to go stupid every time I try to change a CV using OPS mode programming. I disabled the reed switch but it didn't seem to help I am

John I am in total agreement with you on this. In fact I would say that its actually one of the big turn offs of sound that I have as most have the sounds far too high. What I have seen at some

Yes, the QSI's have been tested in current locomotives with baffels, and that's just one of the reasons that people are so excited. Loco Lee us are going to be very impressed with the Titan. My
