Now there's an idea - how about it you DCC sound providers/

Thanks everybody, apart from some useful leads, I had a lot of fun reading some of the more "off the wall" posts, great fun, made me smile and laugh after a difficult day! If and when I track down some sounds and manage to get them on some sort of player, I'll make it known on here Thanks again Peter W

I've had a bright idea - what with all this DCC sound, station and in-train announcements included, what about a signalbox emitting suitable sound effects? Doea anyone know of recordings made in signalboxes, for example by Peter Handford/Argo Transacord, which could be put on a player and broadcast through a mini-speaker in my signalboxes? Be interesting to hear if anyone has any info or leads Thanks Peter W

The reference in the latest BRM guide to catch points and their purpose is well illustrated in this video clip - catch points are very obviously as relevant today as ever!! - Enjoy, there's always something amusing about somebody else's discomfiture!! And thanks for lots of practical info within this thread Wellsy

Can anyone explain to this computer nerd, or direct to suitably idiot friendly instructions, how to put my developing SR layout "Bardown Road" on here with a view to getting advice and encouragement, please? Thanks Peter W

I did the same but I used wheels, motor and gearbox, plus a more accurate smokebox door all obtained from Roxey Mouldings, keeping the chassis and body, and a dcc decoder too, looks good enough for me trolling round my layout

Hi there - my 33/2 runs faultlessly on a Bachmann chip, and I have rigged up working headlights no problem, runs like a dream
