I bought this new Vision Line Big Boy 2331270 UP #4019 and I am very disappointed in the sound volume, especially for the Chuff noises.
this locomotive has speakers in the tender and the engine and all the other sounds such as crew, talk whistle, etc. seem to be fine. But I cannot get the Steam chuff sounds up to a decent volume. I’ve done the Aux 1 button changes and can lower/raise the volume but it’s still not normal to me
I have other VL and Legacy steam locomotives such as a Class A, an EM-1, a Y6B and others that the chuff sounds are much louder.
I separated the tender from the engine, and I think all the sound levels on the Tinder are normal. But the engine steam chuff Sound is barely discernible.
I do not see any kind of manual volume control on either unit. I had an older big boy that I sold that had a very deep and throaty chuff sound but this one is very quiet compared to it.
Do I have a soundboard issue or an issue with the speaker in the locomotive? I’ll try to get a couple of videos to show you what I mean.
