Blunami video

[Gigasaurus]

This new Blunami video is funny. Made me laugh. Its rare when that happens in the hobby.

Brilliant, what more can be said?

So, I can use this app to shrink myself down to drive my locos ? Whatever next ? That's original and put a smile on my face. A company actually doing a bit of creative marketing beyond the usually dry and offputting tech' babble. I might just take a look, willingly. Max

I just read about it in the new "Garden Trains Annual" which came saturday. down loaded the app to my phone. Unit is $256.00 a lot but does include receiver and sound on one board. Anyone know anything? post here.

The standard price I see is $205, but I've seen them as low as $195. $256 is the MSRP (as sold on the SoundTraxx site).

I down loaded the app to my I phone 7 looks like it should work. Bought a nos i pod touch (which I needed for podcasts) and the blunami app will not load on it. I'm looking at used I-pads which are cheap but must figure how old a I-pad will work. Any experience from others will help.

Good evening, All!
Well... We did go out.. We did get to Wirksworth... And we did a round-trip pulled by Steam, for less than it cost to get into the model show!

Oh! I was allowed to spend a little money, as well :

Got home as the rain started, so sat in the car for a few minutes...
It ain't half rumbling out there!

Twitch, I think, is rather glad we are home. - She is not a fan of thunder..

Got this back from Sound trax.
Bob,

For iPads the minimums are as follows:

iPad 3rd gen

iPad Air 2

iPad Mini 2

iPad Pro 1st gen

however aside from the pro I would probably recommend going one or two gens later as with the models listed (again aside from the pro) they don’t have enough processing power to run that many locomotives responsively, so while they would serve to run one or two locomotives, any more than that would not be a very good experience. As such going for one or two generations later with more processing power you will be able to run more locomotives,

Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you!

Gentlemen;
Denice bought me a BLU-4408 For my birthday yesterday. I'm attaching a photo of it still in it's bag. I'm amazed how small it is! And it is both a throttle and sound card in one!! In other words it should do everything that the two cards do in my just finished Bachmann Mogul. All that must be added is a speaker and batterys.If all it's cracked up to be it should be awesome. Only question for me is one going to be able to see either a phone screen or I-PAD screen out of doors.How do they get so much in so little space? I plan to install it in a LGB forney. Wish me luck!

Most phones and pads have screens that are readable in bright light now, unlike previously we had to have cowls over or work pads
