Chuck Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don't see much posted online these days about QSI sound. At one time they were THE sound folks for model trains of all scales. I recently seen this posted on another forum by a high end O Gauge importer/ manufacturer. Few years ago I spoke with QSI and they said they were developing a new large scale sound decoder...guess not? "We are out of QSI boards and there are no more to be produced as QSI doesn't have their system chip for sale any longer. So if your QSI system stops working you can easily replace it with an ESU system purchased from us. This took a good amount of planning and design work from both ESU and Robert Lopez."

Screwy Nick Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The only QSI sound I have came with my USAT GG1, and being an east coast kid ( a long time ago) sounds just like them. I even got the Bell and Horn buttons to activate while running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Easterly Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I have a QSI Equipped Aristocraft E-8 that I run on Digitrax DCC System. It is a Plug-n-Play board that was my first conversion. It sounds and runs GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice E8 When those Aristo E8's first came out I bought a pair of chromie SF's from St Aubin nursery just a few miles north of me. I installed the QSI Magnum's with batteries and ran them via Airwire with the radio board. I took them back up to Aubins and gave Jon a demonstration right on the sales counter with no track. That little demo got Aubins to become a QSI dealer. Just a bit sad to see QSI fall but that's what happens when you hook up with Broadway Limited owner Bob Grubba and his lawsuits.
