Streamlined Backshop Services present a sample of the installation services available for your DCC project. This project using the Con-Cor/Rivarossi Challenger as a platform utilizes a Soundtraxx TSU750 Tsunami Micro decoder for some light functions and sound and a TCS M1 for front light and motor control. The backup light fixture on the tender has been modified to accept an operational LED. An 0603 Warm White LED with 1000 ohm resistor is used for the front and rear lights. The speakers are (2) 13x13mm speakers aimed down through the floor adn are available from Streamlined Backshop Services and (2) 13mm rounds aimed up through the coal load. The sound file is Heavy Steam version available from Soundtraxx. The Athearn Challenger is fitted with a TSU750 also. I do not know the version as it was sent in for repair. The speaker is the facotry installation however. The video is a great example of the volume I am able to get out of many installationsby using a good mix of speakers, placement, and natural baffeling from the loco shell as well as a side-by-side comparison of the two versions of this model. Also be sure to compare the sound in this video to the sound car video on my channel. This is a good reference of the difference between Soundtraxx, ESU Loksound, Digitrax and MRC sound.

The First Noel - Christmas Eve 2004 - St. John The Divine, NYC
Here is a recording from the 2004 10.30PM Midnight Mass Service at The Cathedral of St. John The Divine, NYC. Timothy J. Brumfield, Organist and Johnson Flucker, Director of Cathedral Music conducting the Cathedral Combined Choirs, with brass, timpani and strings. The last verse is Tim Brumfield's own arrangement! (Thanks Tim!). I had to trim the end of the clip due to YouTube time constraints, but I will post the final verse and Tim's mini organ improvisation in another clip. This recording features the 'temporary' 3-manual/pedal Allen digital organ installed just a few days before the 2001 Christmas Eve service, right after the devastating December 18th, 2001 fire in the North Transept. The sound of the Allen on this recording was the best it ever sounded in the Cathedral, after much experimentation with speaker placement and tuning from the console by Organ Curator Doug Hunt and Allen's technicians. You will see a picture of the recording setup on the original 1910 Op. 150/150A Skinner console, still covered in dust from the devastating fire on Dec. 18th, 2001 - with a hand-written note by Organ Curator Doug Hunt telling people 'Do Not Touch' the console! Former Cathedral Organist Dorothy Papadakos's old Sony DAT recorder is below the HHB CD burner I used to capture these services for a few years after the 2001 fire. A single Sony stereo mic was suspended from the Choir ceiling, and connected to a no-name mic preamp/mixer. This setup was in place for a few weeks before ...
