Docksider 0-6-0

USAT came out with a docksider in late 2008. It was delayed a bit, and many people were wondering why this model was picked.

A sound unit is included, but it sounds awful according to most everyone who owns one. It is NOT the standard Phoenix that USAT normally uses.

The smoke unit is likewise not the nice TAS unit that USAT uses in the Hudson and the Big Boy.

Here are some pictures (courtesy of Jim Agnew)

The picture below shows the stock configuration. The board on the top is the sound board, the trimpot "VR" adjusts the sound level. There are more functions on this board, when Jim cut this board off, his lights stopped. It may just have a passthrough, or a regulator for the lights.

The picture below shows Jim's modes, an NCE D808 is on top of the main board, and a phoenix sound board on the very top.
