A Sound Investment
To say the least, the cost of the 2-8-2 has just jumped up with the addition of a Loksound 3.5 with my own customised sound scheme
It all fits in the firebox area behind the motor, all I needed to do to get the standard speaker in was to cut one of the mounting lugs off, file a couple of flats on the outside of the case an fix the other lug to the frame with a 12ba Triang valve gear screw B)
I've not cut off the spare function wires yet as I've not decided on lights etc yet.....
The sound file is a modified Loksound german 2-8-2 with all the unnecessary sounds removed. The background hiss and whistles replaced with real Britannia versions. I've also played with the sounds used to make sure that there is some chuff when coasting.
I defy anyone to say it does not sound like the real thing
UPDATE:
Just totted up all the parts used so far. Not including wire, solder etc this build has cost me £219.27 so far
UPDATE 2:
I've added a connector twixt tender and loco chassis so with 14 wheel pickup it runs quite well. Anyone wanting to hear it come along to the Trains4U open day on Sunday B)
