bmoran4 posted:Only issue I experienced here is the YLB doesn't supply power long enough to allow the shutdown sequence to complete, but this may be due to user error by putting the YLB through its paces and not allowing enough "charge time".
Dependent on the volume and the length of the shutdown sounds, that may happen. The primary purpose of the YLB is to maintain the sound over power interruptions to the locomotive and for conventional running during direction changes.

If you had the new Vision Line Challenger or Niagara, you might think differently. The closely spaced pickup rollers cause the sound to drop out on many switches in command mode. For conventional running, the benefits are obvious.
