Cell phone speakers - better or just smaller?
I've read recently of people using cell phone speakers with sound decoders and getting excellent results. What I'd like to know is, are they better than other common speakers that are sold, for example by Soundtraxx? Or are they just smaller, and thus better for some tight applications? I have room for a high bass speaker, so I'm wondering if there is any audible reason to try to find some cell phone speakers instead.
Interlocking Tortoise Switch Machines
I have a location where the diverging move of one turnout (A) crosses the straight move of another (B) and will be using Tortoises to control them.
When A is set to diverge I would like B to automatically move to diverge also. When A is set for straight, I would like to retain full control of B.
I had two thoughts. Either use the contacts of Tortoise A to interlock Tortoise B or use A's control switch to interlock B's control switch.
Any ideas, brilliant or otherwise to accomplish this?
CV Values for Smoke Volume in MTH Steam Locomotives
I want to change the smoke volume in a MTH Challenger Steam locomotive.
I already know that you can modify the smoke volume toggling Function 18, and that It can be varied in three levels: low, medium and high.
However It is not enough for me. I consider that the Locomotive should throw more smoke, I would like that!
I am completly sure that there is a CV, or two or three of them, that can be modified to achieve the effect I want, but I have not been able to get this información anywhere.
Wich are the CV variables that control the smoke in a MTH Steam Locomotive?
