Ah, ok. Thanks for the visual. That’s a lot like MTH tach system. So, for the sake of pening this idea out a bit - GGG mentioned adding this all into the water tender (I assume he meant as one isolated add-On tender with all of the sound and radio electronics self contained - probably nutty in cost, but so is the whole hobby lol).... How would this chuff generator benefit this water tender idea without a motor to read tach off of?? Or did I miss something?
