- Hi all, this is a show's you how video on installing the new bluetooth decoders from Soundtraxx. I had hoped to cover the programming as well, but that will need to be another video.
If you are here in the UK and you want to try these, they can be found at Costal DCC in Suffolk - www.coastaldcc.co.uk
Other suppliers may be available, I just happen to use these guys.
Steve, great idea on where to locate the current keeper. Nice job!
@@DaveSCHS cheers mate
Great stuff, cheers Steve. I like the idea of the Blunami decoders - I presume from what you just showed that they will work using conventional DCC control as well. That does look like a fiendishly small space to pack it all in!
@jimbarrett1975 thanks mate. You can run them via Bluetooth or via normal DCC. I will do a video going through it all very soon
An interesting video, Steve. All above my pay grade, though 😁...cheers James 🙂👍
Much easier than it looks, trust me
Nothing is ever straightforward. 😀
The amount of hassle I had trying to fit a PNP Tsunami decoder into a GP40 got me to thinking I should take up Stamp collecting.
These decoders seem to fit the bill in terms of wireless remote, without the expense of buying a WiFi control system.
To be fair, I was trying to get a quart in to a pint pot, but ultimately managed it and it has worked out really well. I think as technology moves on and both motors and decoders get smaller, this will become easier. Can you imagine trying to get some of the early decoders into these things!
So I assume it was you that bagged that Union Railroad MP15 off eBay. There were 3 MP15's from the same seller, Conrail (which I got), a Union Railroad and an LTEX. Someone had the LTX while I was thinking about it. He who hesitates looses out on the loco.
@@andyknott8148 got to get in quick sometimes! As I'm reminded every time I look at my collection of surplus locomotives.
@@andyknott8148 I actually got it direct from Rails of Sheffield, though they may have had it on Ebay. Shame I missed the others, I would have loved the LTEX one
@@thebritishrailroader Yes they were selling them on eBay. I would have loved the LTEX one.
@andyknott8148 luckily we didn't have to fight over it 🤣
Well done. That speaker looks like they gave you no room for soldering -ugh. I fully anticipate that you will soon be doing human heart transplants.
@@awblenko now that would be interesting 😅
