SoundTraxx has expanded their exciting new Tsunami2 sound decoder line with the new TSU-PNP, which is now in stock. They have also announced the new TSU-21P (21 Pin format) and TSU-4400 (Large scale 4 amp decoder).
TSU-PNP
The TSU-PNP incorporates mounting provisions for many of the major diesel model manufacturers, such as Atlas, InterMountain and Bowser, into one board. This 6-function decoder measures 73.7mm x 16.8mm x 4.8mm and is expected to be a top-seller! This board is equipped with a 2-pin connector for the Current Keeper (P.N. 810140) and consolidates most of the original Tsunami Plug and Play-style boards (TSU-AT1000, TSU-BW1000, TSU-GN1000 and TSU-IM1000) into a single design!
TSU-21P
SoundTraxx announced the new Tsunami2 TSU-21P (21 pin) sound decoder at the NRMA National Train Show. 1 Amp, 6-function decoder compatible with the 21-pin NEM connector commonly used in Europe. This mates easily with the motherboard in many of today's DCC-ready models that use this connector, including such manufacturers as Atlas, Bowser, Fox Valley and InterMountain. These decoders are expected in late summer 2016 but you can put in your pre-orders now!
TSU-4400
Also announced at the NRMA National Train Show, The TSU-4400 is a new 4 Amp, 6-function decoder perfect for O and larger scales. With easy-to-use terminal blocks, this universal decoder will be available in steam, diesel and electric versions. We expect these decoders to ship from SoundTraxx later this fall but you can pre-order yours now on our website!

Tony's is an Authorized Dealer for BlackStone Models
|
Blackstone Models has developed a reputation for exceptional, prototypically realistic HOn3 locomotives and rolling stock and you can get great prices on their full line of products through Tony's.
Design and Construction
Blackstone Models engineers have designed these models for operational reliability, spending much effort to ensure exceptional slow speed operation and the smallest operating radius possible. All drivers and tender wheels pick up track power, providing smooth running over even the most finicky switches without stalling or derailing. Running HOn3 trains is fun again!
These locomotives are ready-to-run right out of the box and meet NMRA specifications for HOn3. Die-cast construction provides excellent detail while furnishing the additional weight needed for reliable operation and superior pulling power. Golden white LEDs provide hours of maintenance-free running.
Amazing Details
Exhaustive research of the prototypes through first-hand measurements, historical photos and railroad blueprints result in some of the finest models ever built.
Model variations are built with their own unique details, such as handrail location, number boards, cabs, tenders, headlights, ladders, and more, and often have more than 100 hand-placed detail parts.
Historically Accurate Lettering
Painstakingly researched, the logos, fonts and positioning varies from locomotive to locomotive as appropriate for the prototype practice of the day.
The Sound System
Blackstone Models locomotives come equipped with a custom SoundTraxx® Tsunami® Digital Sound Decoder. Tsunami is a high performance sound system for the modern model railroader providing the benefits of today's Digital Command Control (DCC) technology with the addition of high quality, digital onboard sound. These locomotives are also capable of operating on a DC, or analog, layout. This means you can take your model to visit an HOn3 layout running with a conventional power pack.
