Class 59 had 16 cylinders, Class 66 has 12. There is no Class 66 in TTS, it's a Class 67, also with 12 cylinders. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeg Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Paul, Thanks for your reply, the motor I was going to use it for draws 1-1.5 amps so will have to think again. The loco has two motors so I thought would use a decoder on each, I have a spare 1.5-2amp TCS T1 that I have used on one motor the same in a small tank engine that runs well, so was hoping that a TTS on the other in the 59 would give me sound! mikeg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinw62 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Class 59 and Class 66/67 have different prime movers and sound very different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF96 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 People have used a separate decoder to run hungry motors with the TTS picky backed just for the sounds and lights, etc. The only problem could be a TTS steamer uses bemf from the motor to control the chuffs and coast, so how you link this from the motor decoder into the TTS is open to suggestion. The diesels use speed steps to control notching up and down so if the TTS is on the same address as the motor decoder it will be fooled. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted March 20, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2019 Re TTS Class 66 decoders. Both Hatton's & Rail's have these in stock now. I'm assuming other vendors will too, but haven't looked. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
