Plug-n-Play decoder, non-Plug-n-Play Loco?

[P5se Camelback]

Hmm, interesting. They ALSO have the 539 in the Micro-Tsunami 750, which is hard wired. If the loco draws less than 3/4 amp stalled, that might be an option as well. All on account of space. I know space is at a premium in my Proto S-1's, and the only real differences are on the outside - the turbo stack and wider radiator grills. ...
... There's no technical reason why the TSU-1000 isn't offered with the 539 sounds - in fact if someone asks I'm sure Sountraxx will make it. ... --Randy

Aha! Out in front of you ...

... when I received the response from my initial email, the response signed by Jarrette Ireland, I then fired back an email thanking Soundtraxx for the timely response, and stating that although the model, an ALCO Models brass Alco S-2 (which requires the sounds of an Alco 539 Turbo) has a can motor, it is not a recent model can motor and that although I had not yet tested the unit for amperage draw, I would still be much more comfortable running a TSU-1000 than a TSU-750 in my model, and would it be at all possible to acquire such an item?

Time will tell what the response will be!

But I do appreciate your thoughts, Randy, and I whole-heartedly agree on the basis of economy of raw materials/parts and number of SKU's stocked ... If we built four "form factor" decoders, each of which could run the same machine code, it would seem to me to be a much more efficient operation.

I think they are here in Florida ... I'll have to look up where ... maybe I could schedule a meeting/intervew as a potential design consultant ... what the hey! ... I've got credentials.
