Coachmann (Larry Goddard) is having great fun with his new indoor outdoor layout, based on Oswestry. DCC sound features prominently and as he says, with good sound you can "drive" a train far more realistically. His latest video is of an LMS 4F and it sounds very good. My own sound chip is different (Digitrains Zimo) and has some original 4F recordings included in the sound files. Both sound authentic but, as with the actual prototypes, their sounds can be quite different.

The following video is my first attempt at recording a sound-equipped loco, using an iPad Mini. The latter was propped up at the end of the layout and then the 4F was moved up and down the central track across the turntable. Momentum was set to 2 which means that coasting occurs when the speed control is lowered. I have also included wheel squeal when crossing the turntable and the single whistle.
