Hi Mike....Your words "most important" led me to believe that sound and smoke
were more important than dimensions and operation. Sorry if I was wrong about
that.

If you listen to a Tsunami from a distance of four feet, the sound should be
about what you would hear if you were 256 feet away (4x64=256) from a real
loco. Since that is almost the length of a football field, I think the Tsunami
does very well in the volume department. It can be so loud that most folks
turn it way down.

Nothing I said prevents or hinders or discourages anyone from working towards
improved smoke realism. If someone else is not giving smoke a fair chance, I
cannot be held responsible for their thoughts. Personally, I'd like to see a
quantum leap in smoke volume and a darker color.
Take care...Ed L.
