Guys,
Trinkle-Trains and DCCTRAIN (Alexander Kolesnikov) in Cincinnati, Ohio are collaborating to establish a new O Scale
approach using the ECoS LokSoundXL Board for large layouts and Power Lashups.
I shipped Alex 2 EMD SD70ACe OMI engines, GM70 and GM73 (pictured) before Christmas.
He is beginning the explorative installation process tonight and has them out on the Test Track.
He will be adding it all - Large diameter (differential performance and cabinets) stereo speakers,
large scale standard fiber optics and wiring harness, and of course configuring sound and control files
for O Scale speed matching and performance!
Alex at DCCTRAIN will be realeasing a video that he is shooting on the complete installation process and the hardware and software configurations for
use by all! This will no doubt become the defacto standard for my Trinkle-Trains shelf layout, the 2015 build of my BNSF "Denver Division" layout,
and my eventual final "Colorado Joint Line" Layout in O Scale. I will update this thread with the video link once it is released!
Wish us luck as sound and performance standards that "make the grade" for scale prototypical lashups (5 plus Engines with Manned or DPU pushers/helprs) and that
perform and sound as "Big" as our O Scale are overdue!
Rick
