Model Upgrades, the Rapido CF7, and CV Bit Structure (S3E21)

from SoundBytes: Train Talk from Milepost 141 Hosted by SoundTraxx DCC

First, an apology! We lost the camera 2 angle and the screen recording of the Blunami app, so there are a few spots where you won’t see all the details you’re used to. Those dang marketing people getting too generous with the delete button!On the bright side, there’s plenty of model railroading goodness to enjoy. Dave brings in an older Atlas Conrail U36C, and George helps him plan some upgrades, added details, and installation of a BLU-PNP8 and LEDs.George also shares the history behind the prototype of his Rapido CF7. He’s already completed a Blunami installation on the model, and the full installation video is in the works. Keep an eye on our YouTube channel so you don’t miss it!To wrap things up, George and Dave dive into CV bit structure and explain how understanding bits can help you better understand how Configuration Variables (CVs) work.Thanks for watching and listening, and happy railroading!#SoundTraxx #SoundBytesFromMilepost141 #ModelRailroading #Blunami #Tsunami2 #ModelTrains #DCC #DecoderInstallation #ConfigurationVariables
