Here's another of my newbie DCC questions..
Can an installation using separate sound and power decoders still have back EMF varied sound, such as a stronger chuff when pulling a heavy load?
There are a number of very inexpensive and small sound decoders, but they lack the power capacity for a large scale model. There are a number of large scale decoders, but they lack sound. There are a few that can do both (namely, QSI), but they lack features (asymmetrical DCC, hybrid drive). So, If I want the best of both worlds - the best power decoder and sound decoders for my needs, do I have to give up the interaction between them, and the realism of the variable sound?
