Simond Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 A Dean goods would sound almost exactly like a 57xx, similar boiler, so similar firebox, tubes and smokebox, for the resonance, and similar cylinders & motion, so similar chuff. And the same whistles of course. And if you can tell the difference between the shovelling sounds, you’re a cleverer man than I am...

Martin S-C Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 A Dean goods would sound almost exactly like a 57xx Ah, that's a pain. I had a digital sound set fitted in mine from a Collett Goods. Mind you it still sounds gorgeous. My other one, an Oxford Rails model, came with factory fitted sound which still sounds lovely, though I have no idea where they sourced the sound files from.

Simond Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, I agree, if the mechanics are the same, they’ll sound similar. If the draughting through the boiler is the same, then they’ll sound even more similar. The panniers, the Collet and the Dean are not going to sound very different. (The 15xx and the little 136x excepted of course, but even then...!) Best Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2018 A couple of other thing to watch are the boiler pressure 180 vs 200psi and the Dean is saturated and the panniers (I've looked at the 57xx) and the Collett are superheated. So that could make quite a difference to the chuff. I'm thinking about sound for my NER 1001 class, the preserved 1275 probably last ran in 1925, there's film of it but what did it sound like? The nearest preserved loco statistically would be the J72 but who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic, that takes me back, it was may "local" model shop when I lived in Oxfordshire and the chap who ran the modelling section ( I think his name was Dave ?) was a real gricer too. If I needed any specialist items I would usually take a drive to Howes when they were in Broad Street or over to the OPC shop at Headington and at that time you were able to park outside both shops ! Thanks for the memory Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing of note happening at the moment but I suspect there might be a train along soon! Still the Colonel hasn't caught anything (I wonder if it's because he has no line?) Nor has he his wife, might be the same problem I'm sure the engine driver dyes his moustache…! Edited March 22 by KNP 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Not a fishing expert, but I don't think a line would make much difference in water that muddy; fish need an ecosystem to feed off and there's no sunlight getting into that river! Why not, Kevin. Is it downstream of some sort of runoff, or has it been raining heavily recently... Edited September 24, 2018 by The Johnster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted September 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2018 Silly question (as a non-GWR follower). Should the signals be on the right side of the track in direction of travel because I understood GWR engines were generally right hand drive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
