Now that is awesome....I have 2 of your decoders in hoscale running along side my other DCC locos and it works great!

Amazing.

Simply great. As I understand, you used a 18v battery as dead-rails ? was it a Lipo 5S (18,5v) ? Thanks Alexis

That is great! Finally a steam locomotive sound system that sounds like it is pulling a full train and IT IS! 23 pounds equals 580 tons in 1/29th scale!
Of course if it had smoke it would be filling the Canyon with black coal smoke!

How do you prevent wheel slippage?

[@neilhart5031]

The locomotive itself weighs 26 pounds.
