I agree Richard, but I would have thought that it would not distort but be a feeble sound. Perhaps it's simply that the sound file was recorded badly. I'll contact the suppliers tomorrow and see what they say. Steve

I've just tried connecting the decoder to a Tannoy hi-fi speaker and it still distorts so it must be the sound file! Steve

Hi I have just bought a Heljan '0' gauge Mogul which I am very pleased with. I run DCC and bought a Loksound 5L as I knew it would be a straightforward job to plug it in and connect a speaker. The speaker is 'Rail Exclusive' SP 40X20X7 big BOOMER which I had left over from a previous project. It is an 8 Ohm 1 watt model. I have used them before in other locos but with a Zimo decoder and they work well. Unfortunately the sound is VERY distorted even when I turn down the volume. I'm not sure what the problem is but assume that the speaker can't handle the output from the decoder. I'm not really familiar with ESU decoders. I don't really want to change the decoder. Is there anyone who can advise me? If I do need a different speaker which should I use? Thanks for your help. Steve

Hi Nigel. I've finally got round to trying your suggested solution. It seems to have worked. Thank you very much. Steve

I have two Farish class 25s. They were bought together. One runs perfectly but the other stops intermittently. It starts moving again if I move the controller speed a tiny fraction faster OR SLOWER. I RUN DCC using a Digitrax Zephyr system but I know it isn't the system as I have around 30 locos which don't have the problem. I have thoroughly cleaned the wheels and pickups and have tried a different decoder. I wonder if anyone has a solution? Steve .

Hi. Yes it's me that has been asking via GOG! I'm not concerned about the range of sounds as I have seen fron the specs that the Victory covers a lot. I was once the owner of a large sound fitted large loco that had the full range of sounds but they were spoiled by being rather 'boxy' or 'middly' sounding. They lacked the sharpness that you would expect from a steam loco. Can I ask those of you who are proud owners of the sound equipped version what you think of the sound quality? Steve
