boxbrownie started following Diesel speed records!

My understanding was they were “new” tyres, but just a little over spec........and also I always was told the HST125 was actually originally designed to run at 150 mph but trackage (and budget) only allowed for 125 mph in service. I have been in the cab of several when they easily reached over 125 mph regularly.

Never let the facts stand in the way of a good Brexit moan I thought we were over all that now.

Agree completely, the frequency range of speakers needs to be carefully matched to its intended purpose/installation (just as you would at home), but it’s really down to the originator of the file to make sure the sounds are at reasonable levels to each other, thankfully most of the sounds can be individually adjusted for level if the file author gives the CVs along with the instructions, which some do.

I think a lot of people get to hung up on the volume a Loco will make, in context if your viewing a real Loco from the distances we normally view a model going around our tracks in the real world it would actually be quite quiet, if your standing on a platform then that’s a different story. I have to admit all of my sound Locos are well down the volume settings, the exception being the odd steamer.

Great, thanks for the clarification Richard.

Richard with those two (Em1&2) are they wired direct or have you loaded them as I understood from your previous posts they need a small speaker with them to balance the load?

Haha.....mine is called the playroom also, but I get my own back when Mrs BB wants to watch a film as the “cinema room” is in the same space -
