Hi All
I did my first Sound Decoder Install today (wired NMRA correct)
In a Fleischmann V100 BR212 (haven't taken pictures as yet)
I picked this loco as I had done many DCC installs on this model , and there is a lot of room in the rear section
I put a small 2mm high rectangular box , with a cross brace, on the chassis to mount the 20mm x 40mm Loksound speaker on and to keep any wires , from the bogie it is positioned over , touching the speaker
and there is just enough room (barely ) for the sound decoder to sit on top , all went to plan and tested fine on the program Track . I have been using a Borrowed Lenz LVZ100 and Li-USB computer interface with JMRI Decoder Pro
When I put it on the Test Track I gave the poor dog a heart attack These things are LOUD
Default setting is full volume (64) I have brought it down to ( 14 ) for the Main sound Horn and Bell at ( 40 )
I am impressed with the motor control though , They had a suggested setting for the Earlier Fleischmann Motors
and it runs very well at extremely slow speed
I can see why Richard said the Lokprogrammer makes things easier , there are so many things you can adjust!
you are risking insanity to try it just with a hand controller
Regards Zmil
