There have been several discussions here about enhancing locomotive sound by connecting a duplicate decoder to either headphones or a sound system in the layout room. rtw3rd, aka Rick, mentioned he wanted to connect several decoders to a switch so he would have a choice of locos. I of course shot off my mouth, suggesting he use a mixer instead, so he could run more than one loco at once.

The rumor is that Soundtraxx has developed the Tsunami version 2.

Does anyone have any inside information on the size of decoder and any specs?

Naturally Soundtraxx is keeping a tight lip about it.

I have started to wire my layout with 2 WYES creating loops as shown in the attached diagram. My confusion is:  it was recommended to me via a recent post that my AR1's be placed where the purple circles are. In addition this is where the rail gapping should be made also.

What I'm confused at is in the Green circles is where the Red and Black wires a actually reversing. So my question is. should that not be where I gap the rails and locate the AR1's???
