DDA40X prime mover sound files

<< < (3/3)

G8B4Life:
As I stated earlier in the thread, the sound file for a DDM45 is not for a DD40AX, they are completely different locomotives, the DDM45 being a narrow gauge locomotive built for Brazil having a single 20 cylinder 645E3 prime mover (same as the SD45 on which the DDM45 appears to be based upon) . The DD40AX has two 16 cylinder 645E3 prime movers.

There is currently no way that I know of to utilise dual prime mover sounds until Tim Ring invents a way.

Tim,

I see, I miss understood what you were saying initially. Okay, thank you for clarifying that.

Maybe i'll just install a second sound module and only hook up a speaker to it, see if that works. Do you think if i set the motor load on a module that has no motor it'll work properly? or should i put some level of resistor between motor leads...?
that would get the two motors to sound from different ends of the chassis, and notch up as they move.

I would have to make sure they're always MU'd together for sound functionality.. does anyone know a way to permanently link two modules together? Like having two dcc engines programed to the same address?

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

I suggest you call Ring Engineering and see what they recommend and that way this will also get on their radar as a function that people want.
