Reply to "Is Anyone Using DCC to Control Their 3-Rail Trains?"

Hi everyone,

I have successfully deadrailed my Lionel 4-6-0. I am using the Airwire Convrtr-60X with a Tsunami TSU-4400, powered by a 14.8V .68Ah Li-on battery. I kept the lighting the same and added a couple LEDs for the firebox flicker. I replaced the smoke unit with a Seuthe unit powered directly off the battery through a relay controlled by the Tsunami decoder.

Soundtraxx has a great product. I started with a TSU-2200, but was getting over-current errors on my inclines. If you are running on flat track, the 2200 would work just fine.

The smaller battery was due to not having enough space in the tender. I’m getting great run time out of it, even with the smoke unit on.

I will post a video later. Be happy to answer any questions.
