Hello OGR Forum!
I'm looking for some clarification/help regarding volume and sound on my new Visionline Triplex. To me, the sound is weak compared to a standard Legacy locomotive; I've tried everything from a reset, to increasing the volume following every instruction in the booklet. I'm using a Cab2 to control my trains, and every time I increase the volume I hear the bell indicating the command was received, however it just doesn't sound as loud as it should for a Visionline engine. You can barely hear the chuff coming out of the engine. Am I missing something? Could this be an issue, or is it just the nature of the locomotive? I expected more for $2,499.
I took a video comparing it to a standard Legacy 4-4-2 I purchased last year, and to be honest, the chuff and overall depth of sound on the 4-4-2 is much stronger than the Triplex. I have other Visionline engines that are ridiculously loud, and the Triplex pales in comparison. This is only one of a few issues I've had to fend off with this locomotive out of the box..... so I'm hoping it's only up from here. Thanks!
