I have had my Y6b for a few days now and thought I would give you my thoughts, so far. The unit was surprisingly very smooth running right out of the box. All CV's are set for the this type loco and should be satisfactory for many users. The Loco is very quiet with the sound off and about all you can hear is the wheels . The detailing is very good with some things added that you will find only on brass models.
The sound is good with most functions, but the jury is still out on the chuff. There are many CV adjustments that I can tweak, so I will wait to comment on this after I have deciphered the more detailed on-line manual. The manual that comes with the unit is worthless.
The Loksound decoder has F1-15 (don't know what I'll do with 13, 14, 15, nothing I guess). It uses F5 as a shift key that makes many functions dual purpose. One thing that is not good is a difference in some terminology. Like SHUNT(switching?).
