dasatcopthorne Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi Guys. Just installed the latest Class 60 and Class 33 sounds from Biffo, only to find that 'detonator' sounds have been added on F18. Super. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've added the detonator sounds to almost all my projects now, to provide a little extra 'play value' and value for money. The sounds came from someone who used to work at RTC (and agreed to their use). Apparently it is known on the railway as a 'three bang stop', which prompts the driver to do an Emergency Stop. The charges are placed 10 yards apart, so the speed of the loco determines how quickly they sound. This has been reflected in the chip so you get bang.....bang.....bang at slow speed and bang bang bang at high speed and so on. The volume has been set to be appropriately loud.

Thumper1315 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Also sometimes for commemorative purposes. Here, appropriately, is the last class 33 hauled service to leave Uckfield setting off the detonators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian b Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 To dispose of out of date dets they used to borrow a loco (normally an 08!), strap dozens of them to a line in a yard and then drive the loco over them! That'd be something to replicate on a layout! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Im realy impressed with "Legomanbiffos" 37/9 sound project!!!! has to be my best buy this year by far We try our best, Biff puts massive amounts of effort into 'getting it right', so much so that we will not rush new or amended projects. Everything we do is on a constant upgrade program as and when new sound files are done, our new MPV is being worked on as we speak. It will be out when Biff is 100% happy with it, not before!

The Black Hat Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gone and got some Biffo sound chips having seen them on You tube. Micro decoder fitted into 144 and sounds great. Class 47 again sounds good - did notice that compared with my other ones it runs for ages. I altered this using my freinds ECoS to make it more like others in my loco fleet and the sounds changed as a result. Think the recordings and accuracy are really brilliant and to a high standard. I know I might have compromised things by changing the acceleration and braking settings compared with the real thing, but it will make it easier to run on my layout. No doubt will be buying more to vary the many Howes chips I have to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
