Two railsounds questions. Has anyone replaced the Hall sensor on a railsounds 1 board with a reed switch ? I am thinking about adding 4 magnets to the drivers on the loco to get 4 chuffs per rev. It would be easier to add 1 wire from loco to tender that the reed switch connects to ground than to have to run 3 wires in order to move the hall sensor to the loco. Anyone worked this out ? One more off beat idea. Has anyone used the coil coupler outputs on an L2RU board to trigger the whistle / bell on a railsounds1 board ? I have several old steam locos with RS1 and only the PRR E6 switcher has a front coupler. So on larger locos I am thinking I could use the front coupler output to trigger the whistle, or the bell. A friend converted 11 S scale locos to DCC and gave me all his LCRU and L2RU boards, will allow me to convert all my old 1988-94 conventional steamers to TMCC on the cheap. Thanks for any thoughts.
