Someone said that it is possible for amtrak’s Electric loco’s like for example the HHP-8 and AEM-7 to haul trains to Grand Central, all it has to do is follow the Metro-Norths New Haven Line from New Rochelle. If that’s possible would anything interrupt the trains from running on the line like clearance issues or something.

Amtrak F40 315 custom Digitrax SoundFX Test 2

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:52:05 +0000

Since I posted the first two videos of this model, I’ve changed the location of the horn from behind the exhaust stack (to up front) in an effort to back-date my model a bit. This required a new set of sounds for the horn, which are demonstrated in this video. Very short horn blasts are capable due to precise editing of the recordings. The short blasts are sounded using F2, and are not a separate function as found in Tsunami decoders. Sound recordings and editing by yours truely. Custom sounds can be uploaded to Digitrax soundfx decoders through the PR2 or PR3 in conjunction with their free soundloader program.
