revolution TE

Just got my TE LOVE it. had two Aristo locos up and running in less than an hour after the box arrived. My thanks too to Dave Bodnar and his schematic for wiring dalee sound with the revo TE. Sure made things easy ! My USA locos will require major wiring surgery to get them going, There are NO wiring diagrams for any USA locos.just the cryptic basics of "track power here and motor here, and headlights here" Not very helpful at all.

Revolution TE

Very informative video. Good first step to layout just what a person will receive with the kit. Dave Faye has installed the Revolution in a Mike. He ran it this past weekend at the Chippokes Farm & Forestry Steam & Gas Engine Festival. The Revolution was flawless. Easy to understand and use.

Revolution TE

I just installed a Revolution TE in my Accucraft C&S 60. Surprizingly, I could install the TE, Sierra sound and a 21.5 Lithium battery in the limited space of the tender. After running for a while in the Texas heat, in a tight metal tender, I decided to move the TR receiver and battery to a trailing car. The TE receiver generates a generous amount of heat. The TE system was easy top install, program, and operate. For some reason with the TE installation, I now get a grade crossing whistle when starting and stopping instead of the proper 2 toots when starting forward, 3 toots for reverse, and one toot after stopping. I disconnected the Sierra System from motor wires and the grade crossing sound stopped unless I press the proper button, but I still don't get the proper forward, reverse, stop toots. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Revolution TE Video

Once again due to circumstances I am not sure about I cannot access to view the Video, this has occured before. There is no problem with the links to You Tube. Does any one else have this problem ? I also forwarded the site to a colleague who had the same problem. How can I fix this? Or is it your end of the line? I m sure the revolution TE is a superb piece of equipment but it would be great to see the preview and eventually the operation. It's not available this side of the pond yet, to my knowledge.

Tony I sent you an email for you to look for things on your end. This video is hosted here and not at YouTube. Most times it is a Firefox issue, fixed by using IE. Or you need to update your media player. Look for email

Revolution TE Video

It was playing fine on my FireFox. No use sharing with a friend unless he is an LSOL member, as they would not be able to open it.
