SoundCar Digital Sound Decoder

Now your train is no longer limited to locomotive sounds! The 16-bit Tsunami
SoundCar Digital Sound Decoder is the only DCC decoder to replicate railcar
sounds, such as the clickety-clack, flange squeal, flat spots, generator, brake
cylinders, and glad hand release. It also includes a selection of
user-adjustable horns, bells and whistles for cab cars and cabooses. For even
more realism, the decoder has four Hyperlight lighting outputs for interior and
exterior lights.

These
universal-style decoders measure 47mm x 14mm x 8.5mm and are easy to install in
N to G scales. They work with any 8-ohm speaker. For the optimal experience,
use a SoundCar decoder in every third or fourth car in a consist.

The SoundCar also includes a 2-pin plug for optionally using the SoundTraxxCurrentKeeperto
maintain sounds and lights during momentary power losses due to finicky wheel
pickups and not-so-perfect track.

BIG Sound Features!

The SoundCar decoder features many new and accurate recordings, most of which
can be customized to accommodate a variety of rolling stock. Furthermore, the
decoder has automated sound sequences and auto-adjusting features for more
realistic operation.

Intelligent Consisting Consisting Made Easy

With the SoundCar, your switching sessions can be more realistic than ever! Our
easy-to-use Intelligent Consisting lets you add and remove cars from your train
without tricky programming. When the mode is activated, you can simply wave a
magnet over the cars to quickly cut them in or out of the consist. Just like a
brakeman with a brake club, this action is synced with a sound effect of the
cars hand brakes being tied or untied.

flashing rear-end devices (FRED), and more.
