I thought I would share that I bought one of these Steam Decoders from TCS a week ago - I am very impressed with it. I have a mix of QSI and Tsunami Decoders in my steam engines right now, and I really enjoy running the TCS a lot more - the prototypical performance is kind of fun (applying the brakes, the drifting when decelerating). Also the whistle choices are awesome.
One thing I found - not sure if others have seen this - I like to run my engines on the quiet side - the chuff sound would not adjust for me either on CV or Audio assist mode. I thought something was wrong with it and was ready to send it in for repair, I called tech support and apparently its a known issue and there is a specific CV set that needs to be entered to fix this. I don't have it with me a the moment. I thought I would share this in case others are having issues with the loud chuff.
