TSU-KN1 Sound and Control Decoder

A true pioneer in the model train industry, SoundTraxx has been creating innovative products for the discriminating model railroader since 1990. We proudly design and manufacture our industry-best products right here in the USA, and our friendly customer support staff work side-by-side with the rest of our product team.

The Tsunami2 TSU-KN1
Tsunami2 meets N-Scale! The TSU-KN1 is our first plug-and-play Tsunami2 N-Scale decoder and installation kit. Finally, you can get the Tsunami2 features you have been wanting in your N-Scale locomotives! The new TSU-KN1 is designed to fit into Kato N-Scale E, F-units, F40PH, PA and P42 locomotives. Get an easy install and the amazingly realistic sounds plus the features that all Tsunami2 decoders have to offer.

DYNAMIC DIGITAL EXHAUST 
For added realism, you’ll love our reactive Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) feature. When your locomotive is traveling across flat terrain and simply maintaining speed, you will hear your locomotive chugging along. But, when the locomotive encounters a grade and the engineer applies more throttle to get the train up the hill, the engine sounds will automatically react and reflect the increase of power needed to crest the hill. DDE accomplishes this by calculating the changes in strain or load on the motor and adjusting the exhaust to appropriately simulate the work the engineer would be doing to the throttle of the engine. This gives Tsunami2 the ability to create the most realistic experience possible.

HIGH QUALITY SOUND LIBRARY
Our large selection of high quality sound effects include: 

  • 8 Prime Movers

ADDED REALISM
Additional realism can be simulated by adding functioning locomotive and train brakes, injectors, power reverse, firebox flicker and more.
