Precision Craft Y6 & Tsunami

[NW Modeling List]

Many thanks! After looking inside the tender I was hoping it would be as
easy as it appeared. I appreciate the confirmation.

I installed one; my first sound install ever. Basically, I put a pair of
round speakers in Soundtraxx enclosures and tucked them into the round racks
molded into the tender floor.

I followed advice read in MR and snipped away just enuf of the shrink tubing
to expose the JST (I think it is) connector. I then plugged an NMRA 8-pin
plug into the decoder. The other end went into the PCM circuit board's plug.
By leaving in the circuit board, you simplify wiring, but don't have a lot
of room since the Tsunami won't fit under the board. The decoder ends up
riding close to the coal pile when the tender shell's placed back on the
frame. Since the tender's big, it's a fairly easy install.

Sounds great, but I'm still trying to synch the exhaust beats to the driver
rotation. May end up installing a cam yet ...

In reading the archives I found a number of Precision Craft Y6b owners who
bought the silent version and added a Tsunami. I finally bit when Factory
Trains offered them for $199. Could someone offer advice on how they
installed the Tsunami? Were you able to use the NMRA decoder plug? Any
advice is appreciated!
