Let me introduce you to some amazing Blunami technology from Soundtraxx decoders. I am talking to George from Soundtraxx about their amazing new DCC decoder technology called Blunami. It combines the power of DCC with Bluetooth to open the door to the future of DCC and model railroading. Watch as George tells us all about it.

George tells us more about the full line of Soundtraxx decoders and their capabilities in this video, so check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WhXI1YTzd2Q.htmlsi=QTmkVnl7IwShcg1y

Oh, NO! I just paid the last installment of my DCC conversion loan. Now, I've got to go to Blew Nami. Bring on another thousand, as they say........... I hope the bank never figures out these home improvement loans are for my model railroad. Ron........ the lines in your face are developing character in your appearance. They suit you well. Thanks for another informative, great video. Good show.

@johnbanicki7232 Год назад

Good information. Amazing how much the control systems have changed. Thanks for sharing.

@TheTrainFreak Год назад

I am really excited about this product. I have one pre-ordered for a GP7 locomotive. Blunami has a lot of added benefits and for someone new getting into the hobby (HO scale and bigger) , they can run/control a DCC locomotive without having a DCC system. I've seen the Arkansas Lego Club, Arklug, add several of these to their Lego locomotives and even added lighting to those locomotives. Eventually dead rail will become a technology of the future! Thanks for sharing! - Jason

@RonsTrainsNThings Год назад

I agree that I believe this is the future of DCC AND IT IS EXCITING.

@MarksGoneWicked Год назад

Many suggest dead rail for G scale. I've heard people are already using it in HO scale. I would like to see some more budget friendly decoders for G scale though.

hello ron's it's is randy and i like yours i like yours is cool thanks ron's friends randy and i like yours is cool thanks ron

@MattKonsol Год назад

Cool! Sounds like an a exciting product from soundtraxx!!

@michaelpfister1283 Год назад

I am extremely excited to see this product! I am only just getting back into the hobby, and I have been debating about which DCC system to invest in. But the Blunami system has one thing that I have thought was lacking - a true GUI interface! The wireless aspect is nice, especially the flexibility it lends to moving locomotives around between separate layouts, but for me the true sales point is the interface. I love it! I will be buying it! 🙂

Awesome. I think you’ll like it!

It’s amazing how technology just keeps getting better. Thanks for doing the interview.

All types of power! But yes, a great option for dead rail! Thanks!

Nice tech! Need it for N scale....😢

@JoeG-firehousewhiskey 9 месяцев назад

Thats very exciting that they are coming out with an android version. Hopefully the N scale chips will be made soon.

@vincenthuying98 Год назад

Dear Ron, thanks for sharing this info on the new Blunami decoders! Very interesting, and most definitely Soundtraxx has taken the appropriate turnout towards user-friendliness! Cheerio

@StormySkyRailProductions Год назад

Great video with George, there Ron! Thanks! (Dave).

@goaliegeorge Год назад

Thank you sir!

@extra-dry Год назад

Ron, does this mean I can do similar things that used to require something like JRMI ? I'm N scale, but I can wait a little longer😮

@goaliegeorge Год назад

Yes, everything jmri can do but done by us and it’s more accurate and more comprehensive. As far as N scale? As fast as we can! The Bluetooth chip is about the size of your pinky nail, so it will be a bit more tricky to got it on a small decoder, but we have it in the plans! Thanks!

@chrisbarr1359 11 месяцев назад

Does this mean we'd have to remove our old decoders and buy these for all our locomotives, if we want to use this system?

@RonsTrainsNThings 11 месяцев назад

Yes it does.

@rttx Год назад

Great video. It's very interesting to think where all this Bluetooth business will take us in the future. A have a couple of thoughts about your fascia color. The green color is very nice and pleasing to the eye. In fact, it's a bit too pleasing to my eye when it comes to the ceiling fascia. My eye is drawn to it, rather than it being subtle. I think a flat black or something much darker than the current color would be more appropriate. I think you could keep the current color for your mid-level fascia and get away with it, but it's still just a little too vivid for me. The ideal fascia provides a finished look, but is not noticeable. It should draw attention to the trains and the layout, not itself. If that's what you're getting out of it right now, then by all means ignore my comment and carry on.

@DrDiff952 11 месяцев назад

Does it work with my DCC-EX?

@Bliz0516 Год назад

Great advancement, but I don’t even look at soundtrax stuff since it’s not really for n scale. Blunami sounds the same, it will be some time before that is available. I am going to Japan in November who cater to n scale much more than US manufacturers and I am excited to see their technology.

@goaliegeorge Год назад

We have a lot for N. Maybe not 30 drop in formats, but our N18 can fit into most models even with the N18 adapter. We have the drop in KN1 for Kato N wide body models. So, should give us another look! Thanks.

@Bliz0516 Год назад

@@goaliegeorge yes I looked at installing the N18 adapter and KN decoder and a speaker in my Kato SD70ACE’s. In the end i thought it was just easier to find a drop in sound decoder. However for any locomotives with a next18 I agree it’s a viable option.

@Bliz0516 Год назад

Sorry not the KN with the N18, meant the n18 with adapter

@MarksGoneWicked Год назад

I have that power supply, it's size is surprisingly misleading. It weighs a ton! 😅 Took me a minute to get used to the weight. As for the decoder, I'm wondering if I could use it in my old LGB loco 🤔 I've been told an HO decoder us sufficient for operation.

@TheTrainFreak Год назад

Look at the BLU-4408. That decoder is rated for O scale and is rated for 4amp stall where the HO decoders are only rated for 2amp stall.

@MarksGoneWicked Год назад

It's 30 years old 😅 I'm told 2A decoder is all that's needed. I'm also considering a Massoth decoder that's pretty inexpensive, and using a DCC-EX command station. The 4408 is overkill. Now if they had an 8A decoder (6A + 2A stall) I'd consider it for my Aristo-Craft locomotives.

@MarksGoneWicked Год назад

Also, it's still early in the morning, wasn't thinking about the form factor. My lgb is super basic, non-dcc. The 2208 might be a better fom factor. 😅

@jamessled1317 Год назад

Anyone willing to help a new guy get started. I have lots of easy track ho scale and a few easy track turnouts non dcc. I just recently bought nce dcc system. Sadly have only the ability to set up my old dc trains at christmas time around the tree. I want to change it, but only place i could build is in the garage, but no room in there. So I thought maybe a hoist system to hoist layout up out of the way by pulling it to the roof when not in use to use my garage. The boss wife would allow that. any ideas how to rig a system like that?

@Bliz0516 Год назад

How large a layout are you thinking of hoisting?

@jamessled1317 Год назад

12ftx5ft maybe ho layout@@Bliz0516

@jamessled1317 11 месяцев назад

@@Bliz0516 I was wanting to hoist a 5 x 12 ft layout

@jaeger4540 Год назад

Run your train layout with your smartphone or tablet? "The future of DCC and model railroading" has been here for a while now... Marklin, Roco, Toy-Tec, and ESU have all had mobile app capability with their control systems for over half a decade. You can even do remote digital switching. Other than being bluetooth vs wlan, I'm not seeing the revolution here. Is the US side of the hobby really that segregated from what the European makers have been doing that this seems that amazing?
