Description
The SoundTraxx 884006 TSU-1100 is a Tsunami2 digital sound decoder loaded with the complete steam sound library — chuffs, whistles, bells, air pumps, injectors, and more — in a compact wired format with a 1 amp motor rating. Tsunami2 is SoundTraxx's flagship sound platform: 16-bit sound quality, a huge selection of whistles and bells, and Hyperdrive2 motor control for silky, high-frequency slow-speed performance.
The onboard sound selection lets you tailor the decoder to your specific locomotive, from a light branchline 4-4-0 to a heavy articulated. Dynamic Digital Exhaust adjusts the exhaust sound with load, so your engine barks up the grade and drifts downhill — just like the real thing.
Compatibility
- NMRA-compliant DCC; also operates on DC analog layouts (with reduced features)
- Wired decoder for hardwire installations — suits most HO and S scale steam locomotives within the 1 amp rating

How to Use
- Hardwire to motor, track pickups, speaker, and lighting per the included wiring diagram
- Select your whistle, bell, exhaust, and chuff settings via CVs
