I need to make sure locos of the same class run similarly under DCC and I had done some tuning in the past, but not written down the settings I had used. So it was time to go and do this!

So over the weekend I dragged my locos downstairs, set up the test track and started to play. Unfortunately one loco was in the box with the carriages. So this just had to happen:

This is a recent acquisition that came with sound (ahem). It had one a not very train sounding bleep. I sent it off to my favourite DCC man (Coastal). And it came back as above.... OK, it was an extravagance, but sometimes you just have to repeat that line from Ferris Bueller's day off!

It also has a rather neat departure announcement, which I should have recorded!
