New software releases for both Steam and Diesel are now available.
The Steam board has a new chuff created from actual recordings, and the Diesel now has an option for a heavy diesel.
Perhaps the most exciting changes for both, is the U.S. control mode option, which features U.S. style whistle/horn signals; 2 toots forward, 3 reverse, 1 stopped, as well as a grade crossing signal while running. While stopped, the Whistle or horn reverts to a playable whistle. Whistle/horn and bell can be triggered from track magnets or via R/C. Duration of the bell is user programmable.
If you have already have the "Universal Sound Card" (photo below) and would like to take advantage of these new features, we would be glad to update it for a nominal fee of $15.
