SoundTraxx DSX Sound Only DCC Unit.

(due in April 1999)

[see SoundTraxx page]

Due to popular demand, Throttle Up!'s new DSX Digital Sound System provides the same state-of-the-art sound effects you've come to expect from our Digital Sound Decoders in a smaller package which can be installed in any locomotive or piece of rolling stock. Add sound to your already decoder-equipped locomotives or install the DSX in a dummy locomotive...no motor required. The DSX will behave just like our Digital Sound Decoders, with all the same prototypes and features. Their tiny size (1.25"x.625"x.25") makes installing them in some cramped diesels and small narrow gauge steam engines a piece of cake!

Superb Sound for any Situation

The DSX has all the same great sound features as our Digital Sound Decoders. If you've already equipped your locomotive with motor decoders, then adding sound with a DSX is easy and inexpensive. With a uggested list price of $129.00, you'll have a whole fleet of living, breathing and roaring locomotives in no time! The DSX can also be used in decoder-less installations - put one in a box car with the biggest speakers you can fit for easy onboard sound. For those who want an all-in-one unit, our Digital Sound Decoders are the perfect solution. Whichever solution is best for you, you can be sure that SoundTraxx is your sound expert! See our current price list for all the available prototypes in both steam and diesel.
