Locked Seeking decoder selection for new Walthers Proto GP7 with Tsunami
|
Apologies to those who have seen a similar post to the Soundtraxx group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just received a new Walthers Proto New York Central GP7 Model 920-42107 and looking to bring this locomotive into my JMRI Decoder Pro roster.? The documentation in the box only refers to? "Tsunami Digital Sound by Soundtraxx" and the decoder paperwork is dated 2011 (although the Walthers paperwork for the locomotive is dated 2018). In searching the message history of our group, messages from January 2019 hint that this locomotive may have a Soundtraxx TSU-WW56 REV A decoder.? I pulled the shell off of mine and all identifying marks are on the bottom of the decoder as it is installed. Buried and mostly unreadable, but I can see Soundtraxx and 2011 on the board. All that said, since there isn't a Walthers OEM GP7 decoder in the DP Soundtraxx list (or a TSU-WW56), what is the recommended decoder selection for this locomotive in Decoder Pro? Thank you in advance. -Dan Howard |

Walthers provides absolutely nothing re 920-42107
Soundtraxx provides absolutely nothing re 920-42107? or the Walthers GP7.? There is no? CV listing sheet (unless YOU have one ) Without a CV listing from Soundtraxx, authors have stopped trying to fish out the details and just wait for Soundtraxx to provide them. I would suggest you use the definition for the GP35? as it dates from 2018 as does the GP7 from what I discovered.? The horn names will not match? until Soundtraxx provides the information.? Marc |

Thanks to all the responses so far.
Likely going to go with the GP35 as it is my understanding that the Walthers Tsunamis may have slightly different programming features than the non-OEM decoders. FWIW, also going to give Walthers a call today to see if they have/can provide a CV sheet.? If they do, it will be promptly provided to our JMRI/Decoder pro "wizards" :) -Dan |

I asked Soundtrax a similar question about a used Walthers P2K engine, and received the following prompt and helpful reply:
These decoders are based off of the original Tsunami decoder. I've included a link to the proper User's Guide for this.. Tsunami Steam User's Guide- Here is a listing of the default CV values for this decoder- Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

EQ and Reverb are present On my JMRI with "Tsunami Diesel OEM"->"GP35", the Equaliser and Reverb tabs show irrespective of whether or not ?"Show ?Empty Programmer tabs" is ticked or not. In both cases they are actually empty (no CVs to change). This behaviour is due to a deficiency in the XML code for this decoder. By deliberate design, custom panes do not participate in empty tab hiding. It's assumed an empty pane created by a developer is there for good reason (e.g. A README pane). If the developer wants a custom pane hidden when empty, this must be done by using include/exclude or qualifier elements in the pane XML. Detailed at: <> Dave in Australia |
