If you just press function for Vol- and leave it, the Sierra will enter programming mode just as if you held down the F1 button. Note that to set the volume, you need to turn the function on and then off quite quickly. If you can see the board through a window or hatch or something, the remote programming is practical and you can avoid mounting yet another switch. Programming is also possible remotely but that can get confusing without being able to see the two LEDs on the Sierra board. If you are using DCC, then pins 1 and 3 can be connected to some DCC decoder function outputs as well to allow the volume to be set remotely. The volume switch is also used for programming the Sierra so if you bottle the Sierra up inside something, this switch is necessary.

Its sound quality is MUCH better than the The much higher priced Phoenix system and it has more soundįeatures, is more programmable and provides some lighting featuresĪs well. I feel that the Sierra is the best value available overall in June 2000, the Sierra is available with diesel sounds for Alco and There areĪlso ROMs for several other popular narrow gauge prototypes.

System is available with a ROM with recorded C-16 sounds. I purchased a Soundtraxx Sierra sound system to install in anĪristo C-16 (about $150 from Tony's Train Xchange).
