@zhubl posted:I would just first confirm that sounds so come out of the tender. Manually turn the volume pot on the locomotive all the way down and then blow the whistle. Do you still hear that and chuffing from the tender or was everything you heard coming from the locomotive?
Zachariah, great suggestion! I haven't had the tender on the tracks since forever -- I just run the loco occasionally without it, so I put the tender on the track not expecting much. BUT THE SPEECH WORKS FINE COMING OUT OF THE TENDER! All of the other sounds come out of both the loco *and* the tender. This seems like great news in that if the board is producing speech for the tender it's probably not a blown board, correct?
But what would cause all audio EXCEPT speech to come out of the loco, yet all audio INCLUDING speech come out of the tender?
Please don't tell me that speech only ever did come out of the tender on the Big Boy because that would mean I'm losing my mind ;-)
Thanks!
Randy
