Gentlemen and (if we are so lucky) Ladies: I wish to thank all that provided advice and comments about dual decoders in models. Many felt it was a bad idea -- unless we are talking about one in the locomotive and one in the tender.
Thanks to whoever found the 3 amp Soundtraxx upgrade. Although there is a lot of space inside the boiler of an American Flyer 0-8-0, there isn't enough space for this version. I did bookmark the page for future reference. I have a Digitrax Soundbug and a Digitrax DH465 on my workbench. These are intended to piggyback. Intiail programming is easy: do them one-by-one on the workbench. But I haven't known how to independently program them once installed. Thank you for teaching me about CV15 and CV16. I know I printed it. I just have to find the advice on how to initially set them up. The locomotive is making good progress in its conversion from AC motor with bridge rectifier to a full DCC locomotive with sound and an S-n-S slow speed can motor. I have stripped the locomotive and tender shell. Next is to wash them, mount them, and they are ready for the paint shop with a dip-paint job of Polly S Steam Power Black. Thorin
