What is TTS on a model train?
What is TTS on a model train?
TTS stands for Twin Track Sound. This means that the decoder comes equipped with two sound channels which allows simultaneous play of full locomotive exhaust sounds (chuff, engine revs etc.) as well as individual sounds e.g. whistles, horns, brakes, wheel slip etc.
Does TTS sound work on DC?
Now I am fully aware that TTS sound cannot and WILL NOT work in DC mode and I am going be getting a NCE DCC Controller in the next month at least.
What is a TTS sound decoder?
Model Railway Track and Accessories (OO Gauge) IMPORTANT – Theses decoders do not support sound under DC (analogue) operation. Sounds can only be played under DCC (digital) operation. This applies to all sounds, both running and spot sounds.
What is Hornby DCC?
DCC or Digital Command Control is a system of model railway operation which uses digital signals to control locomotives and accessories. Hornby’s entry level (R8213) Select DCC Controller. A DCC system traditionally operates using a command station in combination with its power supply and decoders.
Can I convert a DC train to DCC?
Be sure that you select mobile decoders that are compatible with both analog (DC) systems as well as DCC. This feature is called Analog Conversion and allows you to pace yourself (and/or your wallet) in converting your fleet from analog to DCC. Once this is done, you’re nearly half way there.
Is there a British TT scale model railway?
The scale is uncommon outside Central Europe, but there are a few manufacturers in other parts of the world. One current producer of British TT is 3 mm Scale Model Railways who supply updated GEM and BEC TT kits as well as a large range of Brass Etch and Resin body kits.
What is TT scale called in New Zealand?
Variations include TTn3, where TT scale is run on N gauge ( 9 mm / 0.354 in) track for narrow gauge operation. In New Zealand, this is known as NZ120 and is growing in popularity as a means of modelling the nation’s 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm) gauge railway network.
What are the different types of model railway scales?
From left to right, three different model railway scales: N gauge (2mm:1ft scale), OO gauge (4mm:1ft scale) and G scale. GAUGE VERSUS SCALE. Gauge is the distance between the rails of the track in the scale chosen. Scale is the proportion of the model to the full-size item.
What is the best narrow gauge railway model?
By far the most popular narrow-gauge is OO9, supported by the OO9 Society, where 4mm:1ft scale is used with N gauge (9mm) track to produce a 2½ft gauge prototype. This has the benefit of many kits and adapting OO gauge models. OOn3 (or OOn12) is the modelling of 3ft gauge railways using 4mm:1ft scale models on TT or 12mm gauge track.
