RailSounds chips in Lionel 6-18062 Santa Fe Warhorse Hudson Tender

PaperTRW posted:

Might anyone have a Lionel 6-18062 Santa Fe Warhorse Hudson Tender from 1997 handy? It would be numbered #3447.

I'm trying to determine which RailSounds chip was used on the top of the RailSounds 2.5 board in the tender. (I know what the underside chip is.) It'll probably have a number like RS25xxx.

Thanks for the help!

Here ya go. 

As an aside, many operators over the years have commented that the sound on that Santa Fe Warhorse Hudson is particularly outstanding.

That's what I needed to know. 

Many thanks, Rod!

The sound on my Warhorse SF Hudson keeps shutting off and goes back on continuously.  I tried a Reset to no avail.  Could it be that the RS chip is bad, can they be replaced?

Most likely not the board. I would check the infrared tether. If not that then pull the shell and check the activation switch.

Hard to say what you mean by shutting off and goes back on continuously.

-- The speaker seems to be cutting out and/or getting static-y? (You can tell this because the sound system doesn't seem to get out of rhythm when it stops and starts.)

-- The entire sound system is dropping out and then re-starting?

-- The chuff is missing/dropping out but the background sounds remain?

The answers to the above will give us some clues on where to start. It's doubtful that the chips in the board are bad -- they're usually pretty durable.
