Hello every one, I truly think QSI has done us large scale enthusiast a great disservice. I feel they have abandoned us and I'm now searching for a decoder for sound and motor control. I like the product but has anyone had a good experience lately getting help and information from them. This is a rant but I'm using this forum to express an opinion and need others to tell me if they have other sound and motor controls they would recommend? I have been In this hobby for 30 plus years and never seen this before. Where a good product has been so poorly supported. I chose this review section to give a bad review on the QSI Titan decoders. Great product poor support. Buyer beware.
Greg, you can ease the smoke current load on a decoder by using a circuit to turn on track power via a transistor to the smoke unit and Zimo pulses this signal to give different amounts of current (read smoke). This can be very useful in a small engine with the HO decoder where total current of the MX645 is 1.2 amps. But of course Greg does not have small engines but many of us do.
Right Dan, that will offload the smoke draw, and you could do likewise with the fan, although I believe some decoders could use some kind of braking to the fan between pulses..
Greg does indeed have some small locos: (all DCC with sound)
I was thinking about QSI Titan as a decoder but after reading this thread I figure I need to find a reliable product for my steam engines. Only 4 at this time (2 Aristocraft, a LGB (trackcleaner) and a Piko). I know there are Pros and Cons for all the different suppliers but I'm looking for Plug n Play if possible or REALLY install for a beginner. Leaning towards the NCE Power Pro 10 amp system for control.
Thanks
Ron, your issues with QSI's customer service have been well documented through this thread. Your frustrations are shared by many otherwise-would-be happy QSI customers. You've done all you can do with regard to resolving your issues with the company. While I wish you the best of luck in finding resolution, beating that horse to a bloody pulp here isn't going to solve anything.
I think we're done here.
