Just playing around showing the real keep alive (the newer WOW 101 does not have this built in but is available as an extra component), and the slow speed. This unit had another brand of sound decoder and the slow speed was not this nice. You can also hear the chuff sound drop off as I slow down as well the brakes. Also the cylinder cock sound on start up is a nice feature.

Stock Weaver R1 2-8-0 O Scale engine. All I have done is remove the smoke unit. Nothing else mechanically has been done. TCS WOW 1512 Decoder was installed. Since this decoder is LED ready I did not hook up the lights for this demo. I plan to repaint and weathers my R1's and add LED's at that time.

This is rated at 1.3 Amps / 2 Amp peak. Enough for most newer O Scale locomotives.

I have just barely touched the surface of programming this. Many whistles, bells and other sounds to play with. Using JMRI along with it's built in Audio Assist™ Programming.

Dan, that's pretty interesting. I assume your picking it up demonstates the keep running feature...and that along makes it very promising. Have watched some youtube stuff on this as well, and it has a lot going for it. It's right in that Tsunami category rating wise, actually a little more, and maybe they will pursue greater capacity if this takes off.
