Blunami will change the way you enjoy the model railroading hobby! The BLU-PNP8 is a universal factory board replacement sound decoder suitable for use in many manufacturer’s diesel models such as those made by Atlas, Athearn, and InterMountain Models. It is suitable for a wide variety of models from HO to S scale. It can be operated in three different ways: DC, DCC, and Wireless mode. Using the Blunami App, you can operate your locomotive incredibly easily.  Need Help Choosing a Sound Profile?We have tons of sounds to match a wide range of locomotives. So many, in fact, we cannot fit them all on one decoder. Therefore, they are broken up into sound profiles of like sounds (EMD, GE, ALCO, etc.). If you don't know which sound profile you need, the best place to start is the Sound Selection References. These will list all the prime movers or exhaust chuffs available on each sound profile. If you need further assistance explore these links:  Decoder Selector: Tells you which board format and part number you need for specific models. Sound Samples: Hear SoundTraxx sounds in action! Choosing the Right Sound System: If you are new to SoundTraxx, model railroading, or are unfamiliar with our products. Sound Selection References: There are several for each decoder and they can be found below or in the Manuals section of SoundTraxx's website. DYNAMIC DIGITAL EXHAUST For added realism, you’ll love SoundTraxx's reactive Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) feature that automatically notches your model's engine up or down depending on the load on the motor. With the Blunami App, DDE calibration has never been easier. 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 Blunami the ability to create the most realistic experience possible. HIGH-QUALITY SOUND LIBRARYSoundTraxx's large selection of sound effects includes:  Up to 12 Prime Movers in each sound profile  Up to 12 Bells  40+ Airhorns Additional couplers, cab chatter, and more!

Special Order - Only available through backorder.Shipping time varies, please contact us for estimated shipping time. Free USA Shipping In 2022, BLI is bringing out our second production of USRA Light and Heavy 4-6-2 steam locomotives, commonly called Light Pacifics and Heavy Pacifics!   There were 20 original Heavy Pacifics built in 1919 for the USRA program, and all 20 went to Erie Railroad.  From 1923, numerous copies were built, and many railroads operated similar locomotives.  There were 81 original Light Pacifics built in 1919, and these were delivered to ACL, B&O, GTW, M&O (GM&O), and L&N.  Subsequently, each of these railroads built copies, and several other railroads operated locomotives with similar dimensions and equipment.  The Light Pacifics were limited to 54,000 lbs load per axle, versus 60,000 for the Heavy Pacifics, and this allowed the Light Pacifics to run on most main lines.  Our Heavy and Light models follow the original USRA designs closely.   Railroad specific variations are not modeled on these locomotives.  Many Pacifics used the same 10,000 gallon tender as the USRA Mikados, and our models uses this 10,000 gallon tender.  In our 2022 production run, we are building mostly Heavy and Light 4-6-2's that were quite similar to the USRA prototypes, but were not part of the USRA program.  We have selected well-known locomotives with attractive paint schemes.  Additionally, we will offer one unlettered Heavy Pacific and one unlettered Light Pacific.   Both are painted black, with graphite firebox and smokebox, and are ready to be decorated and run on any railroad you like.       Industry-Leading Features:    Product Information:  Paragon4 Sound & Operation System featuring ROLLING THUNDERTM  Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environments Integral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC Precision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation Premium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes Prototypical Light Operation with Golden White LED Headlight   Die Cast Boiler Body with Die Cast chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort Traction Tires for Additional Tractive Effort (2) Operating MicroTrains-compatible Couplers Operating Headlight Separately Applied Handrails, Ladders, Whistle, and Brass Bell Will Operate on Code 55, 70, and 80 Rail Recommended Minimum Radius: 9.75 inches   Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.

The Baldwin 12-8-1500/2 were BLW's first serious attempt at a production road diesel locomotive.   Baldwin built the famous "Centipedes" between 1945-48.   The carbody rode on two enormous articulated half-frames that were linked at the middled with a hinged joint.  One unpowered four-wheel truck at each end guided the locomotive through curves and helped provide stability.  The Centipedes were huge - 91.5' feet long for single units as operated on SAL and NdM.  Semi-permanently coupled pairs, as operated on the PRR, were 183' long!   Each unit contained two 1500 horsepower diesel motors, so a pair contained four motors and totaled 6000 horsepower.  Centipedes were heavy, totaling 1,200,000 pounds (1.2 million) for a pair, with more than 800,000 of those pounds carried by the 16 drivers. In 1945, the prototype A1-A2 set toured American railroads and three railroads placed orders - PRR, SAL, and NdeM.   Union Pacific originally ordered two units, but never took delivery.  Unfortunately, the Centipedes did not last long in service.   PRR and SAL retired theirs by the early 1960's and NdeM followed in the late 60's.   The Centipedes were enormous, and maybe the most unique diesel locomotive design of the era, but they could not compete with the more capable EMD locomotives.    In our 2022 production of Centipedes, we are offering models in all of the prototypical paint schemes, including the Demonstrator scheme.   We are also offering two Union Pacific sets.  There has been a debate over the years about which road numbers the units would have been assigned, so we have built models painted for both 1600A/1601A and also 998/999.     Industry-leading Model Features:    Paragon4 Sound & Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER Integral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC Precision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation ABS Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort Built-in Capacity Pack for Improved Electrical Pick-up Premium Caliber Painting Prototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers Many Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Horn, Bell, Wipers, and Etched Metal Grills Prototypical Light Operation Including Separately Controllable Headlight, Rear Light, Cab Light, and Numberboards Prototypically Accurate Sounds for the Baldwin Centipede Locomotive Metal Kadee-compatible Couplers (2) Will Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail Minimum Operating Radius:  22 inches     Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.

SurroundTraxx is a major breakthrough in sound systems for model trains! For the first time, a sound system has been designed with multiple trains in mind. SurroundTraxx gives you the realism of high-fidelity sound moving with the train as it travels about the layout, without installing speakers onboard the engine. SurroundTraxx works with a multiplicity of audio speakers that are strategically placed in hidden locations around the layout. Using the latest digital signal processing (DSP) technology and advanced block detection techniques, SurroundTraxx faithfully reproduces the sounds made by each train on the layout and directs the sound to the speaker closest to the train's location. As a train moves along its route, SurroundTraxx makes continuous adjustments to the sound level of each speaker so that the sound appears to follow the train around the layout. SurroundTraxx does not simply switch the sound from speaker to speaker. It uses an intelligent cross-fade algorithm that factors in train speed, direction, and distance between speakers. The sound makes a smooth transition as your train travels from one sound zone to the next without abrupt pops or thumps. DCC surround-sound system for your layout Suitable for all scales -- N through G! Sounds interact and “move” with your trains; no onboard speakers necessary Use with any 8-ohm speaker (or subwoofer for lower frequencies) Six sound channels support six different “sound zones” on your layout Simultaneous sound operations for up to six trains to be dispatched at once Memory storage for up to 99 locomotive profiles An extensive sound library to closely match all popular steam and diesel prototypes Ambient effects such as echo and reverb Download the data sheet (PDF) SurroundTraxx stores a roster of locomotive sound settings in a database called the Roundhouse. This is an extensive library that you can set up and adjust to match your model's prototype or to sound like your favorite horn or whistle, prime mover, or exhaust chuff. Each engine can have a unique sound profile! Once you have entered your locomotive roster into the Roundhouse, you can use the internal “dispatcher,” which allows up to six trains to be in operation at one time. SurroundTraxx can be set up to pick the first six locomotives detected, or you can assign these slots to the locomotives of your choice (perfect to make sure your favorite engine never goes silent!). These locomotive “slots” used by the dispatcher are called Auto Dispatch (AD) slots. After the trains have been dispatched, the block detector will identify the trains' locations, the speed they are traveling, and the point where they will cross into new blocks. SurroundTraxx uses this information to move the appropriate sounds to the corresponding sound channel (six are available) on the SurroundTraxx unit. SurroundTraxx uses an intelligent cross-fade algorithm that factors in train speed, direction, and distance between speakers. This reproduces the sound in such a way that it appears as though it is being emitted directly from the train rather than the speakers on the layout. The multiple trains running on the layout can all be in the same area or spread throughout the layout. SurroundTraxx will still dispatch and reproduce their respective sounds in full audio richness. It truly is a complete layout sound system with multiple trains and operating sessions in mind! Note: If using single-channel mode (default), the sound will feed through all six channels at once and does not follow the train. In order to set up the other modes of operation, you must use Digitrax® transponding block detection on your layout.  Included with SurroundTraxx: SurroundTraxx system 5V power supply Network cable Speaker harness for six sound channel outputs (6' sections of each) Quick Start Guide Owner’s Manual CD Customer registration card Additional items needed for operation: Up to six 8-ohm speakers Optional subwoofer The appropriate DCC mobile decoders equipped with transponding or a TL-1 transponder Digitrax DCC Command Station, cabs and power boosters Additional speaker wire if using a distance greater than 6’ Digitrax BDL-168 (or older BDL-162) Block Detectors Digitrax RX-4s (eight total)
