I just received an Athearn Genesis AB set of new Santa Fe Yellowbonnets that are absolutely beautiful. They run very well too. But I can’t figure out what horn CV value to use because they do not match the sheet I have.
Does anyone have a list of the horns (and their corresponding number) that comes with the Tsunami boards in the new Athearn Genesis F units?
The list I have came with the TSU-GN1000 that I’ve purchased to convert some of my other older Athearn Genesis F units. This list does not correspond at all to the horns on these new Yellowbonnets. I figured they would use the TSU-GN1000 on these factory installed sound units. But maybe not based on the horn selections.
I was hoping to use #7 (Leslie S5T), but the #7 choice for these Yellowbonnets is a single chime (possibly an A200). Anyone know what # corresponds for the Leslie S5T?
Never thought to look on Soundtraxx’s website for separate instructions for the Athearn sound equipped locos [D)]
So strange Soundtraxx issued different horns for Athearn sound installed locos vs their basic TSU-GN1000 board. Wonder if the board in these is cheaper then the TSU-GN1000? I’ll take a look at it when I open the shell to add figures in the A unit.
My ears must be good. I guessed that #1 was the closest to the Leslie S5T. And sure enough #1 is the S5T.
Here is the specific link if anyone ever searches this via the archives and needs the horn choices for Athearn Genesis F units:
It is common knowledge that Bachmann and Athearn both have SoundTraxx leave some stuff of the factory installed decoders, I suppose to cut cost as both are more the toy market.
Others like Bowser Stewart install the same decoder you and I can buy from SoundTraxx or DCC dealers.
The factory type Tsunami are not available separately.
