This excellent Dapol product arrived recently................. so time for a little modelling fun.

She was easy to dismantle as the adhesive used is rather like Evostic  from years ago

 

I fitted a 21 pin ESU sound decoder with Howes generic sentinel sound file as well as giving her a new identity.

Thanks Ade,

Dapol produce their own sound file I believe based on the preserved example . I`ve heard a badly set up example recently and it sounded too `chuffy` for me and I don`t think Dapol  sell their own example.

 

Howes version is far from perfect but I liked their simple effort.

 

I`ll produce a video soon but in the meantime this is their sound in a 4mm Sentinel.  

Mine chuffs a lot quicker per wheel revolution than this example and sounds to me about right

 

 

 

Listening to the prototype examples on Youtube they seem to be fairly quiet and mostly clanks and clonks with quiet fast occasional chuffs plus a lot of hissing......

 

The Howes version chuffs and clanks are very quiet compared to the sfety valve and injector sounds. I have increased the overall volume to its permitted maximum.
