poliss Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yes, but you'll need a powerful decoder such as the Sapphire. You'd probably be better off with the Elite or use the 4amp power supply for the Select as smoke units use a lot of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbird Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Most compatible decoders have the ability to adjust the aux output (CV selection). So for smoke units it is often an advantage to have a lower output to be more realistic. Expensive (saphire) decoders and 4 amp supplies arn't allways necessary!

poliss Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 You can't alter output with the Select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
