Smoke unit install with Blunami decoder board

JW joe woodsOGR Forum Member

I have recently sucessfully installed a Blunami 4408 decoder board into a railking NYC Dreyfus Hudson that was damaged due to hurricane damage.The train runs great,I replaced all the lights with LED's and am looking for help installing a smoke unit that can smoke with the chuffing sound. I have a Sunset smoke unit that I bought from Royz Trains that can be powered Ac or Dc. What parts would I need to make this engine smoke in sync with the chuff. Is it possible to use track power at about 14-16VAC?

The Blunami cards don't have smoke chuff input or output.  You can get smoke working by putting a small magnet on a wheel (most likely tender), a reed switch next to it, and wiring that reed switch to the chuff input on the 3R/Royz smoke unit.  Roy should be able to fix you up with the parts.  But that won't accomplish perfectly synchronized smoke and sound.

There were some more in-depth comments on the chuff 'n smoke issue with Blunami on a thread within the past few months.
