My local LHS "Norms Trains" just became a LokSound dealer..i know they have had some issues at there rather large layout with the NCE system.
Any idea on street price on this? $149 isn't that inexpensive
I got one of these Loksound L decoders today (£112 in the UK) & fitted it to my Atlas Trainman RS3, replacing a QSI decoder.
First impressions - superb sounds! Engine sound far better than the QSI; it now splutters just like a real Alco 244, 12-cyl block! Horn isn't quite as loud as the QSI, but this could just be CV settings at this point; I have to do that stuff tomorow. Not perfectly smooth from the off just yet, but sure it can be tweaked. As it is a 3Amp decoder I have wired the twin motors in parallel, as there are only the two usual motor connections on it, rather than two sets for two motors on the QSI.
I have also added a TCS KA2 Keep Alive, having been impressed by this item on my TCS Wowsound decoder. I intend to get a couple more, to fit to my Tsunami decoders.
Going by today's experience, this ESU type will be my decoder of choice for my Weaver GP38-2 currently on the workbench.
