Showcaseline F3/F7 with QSI Revolution U decoder

The QSI Revolution U decoder is an excellent match for the SHS F7 and F3:

  1. 1.3 Amp constant current. Allows 2 unit MU using MU cables.
  2. 6 light outputs. 5 required for F7, 6th allows cab light if desired.
  3. 5v lighting output matches F7/F3  bulbs, no resistors required.

The QSI Revolution U uses a different strategy for functions. The default is that lights are automatic. This leaves more functions available for controlling sound. This can be modified by setting CVs if desired.

Two Soundsets have been used in SHS F3 and F7 Factory installs (as of July, 2010):
