Forum-1211528 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I have two Triang class 37 diesels they run fine with their X04 motors but with Hornby selling the TTS sound chips as a separate item will they work on these locos? i doubt they will as the Triang locos ive converted to normal DCC have DCC CONCEPTS or GAUGEMASTER chips inside them so will the TTS sound chips work on these class 37s?l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 If the motor draw and that of any lights is kept within the low TTS current capability then yes, else no. The TTS decoder specification is clearly listed in all the TTS manuals downloadable from any TTS loco page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ngr4y Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Colin,You do realise that the TTS sound modules have their own decoder in there as well, so they will replace completely your existing DCC Concepts/Gaugemaster chips. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The spec says TTS decoders will handle 800mA total load incl functions and up to 1 Amp peak for short duration. This should be sufficient for an X04 unless it is in really bad condition. That said, it's always best to do a stall current test to confirm.
