Compare it with the sound of my Bachmann 24035 (white handrails) and Bachmann 25286 I'd say the 25286 doesn't come far behind the SLW and the 24035 comes third.

Bachmann's are also hauling these 12 coaches without any trouble just like the 87035 I think the SLW would do the same but I want to leave the bufferbeam details in place. I ordered my SLW with sound but without "supercap". If the track is reasonable clean it seems to be ok and my Bachmann's don't have supercaps either.

I've left almost all the buffer beam details in place and fitted the tension lock coupling on one end and it runs without any problems. All I had to remove was the three-link chain. as I found that fouled the coupling. Otherwise, all the pipes seem to be sufficiently flexible to enable the coupling to move freely. It's worked on two SLW 24s for me now. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just in case anyone else experiences the same issue: I had a problem with distorted horn sounds on my 97201. All other sounds, including engine noise, were fine. I contacted Jamie, who asked me to return the chip, which she reckoned was causing the problem. A few days later, a replacement chip arrived which works just fine. Fantastic service. Fantastic locos. Full stop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Christmas email: 'The Highland Class 24/1 project will come to fruition next year. It has taken a lot of investment - in both research and design - to make it as accurate as possible as we focus on the small but characteristic details that will make the model shine. Unlike others we are in the 'quality, not speed' camp, happy to check. and check again, before cutting any metal. This will be an absolutely stunning model with its working headlights, three-piece snowploughs and tablet-catching apparatus. Don't forget to place a firm order with us if you have not done so already.' So, sometime this year... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Such a stunning loco, interested in getting 97201 to be used as a heritage diesel on a modern layout but see that in preservation at NYMR it was re-painted back to BR Green with the white stripe. Any ideas if other models in the range in this BR Green livery could be re-numbered to match the preserved prototype? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to do D5061 in green as in preservation none of the models currently available or planned would fit the bill. The only real option is to buy the model of 97201 and repaint it all over green with the stripe I'm afraid. Paul J. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries thanks Paul, I don't know much about the Class 24 thus was wondering if there was one in the lineup to cater for a preserved model but maybe in the future one will get done because these SLW 24's look & sound outstanding.

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted May 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2020 I just got a newsletter from SLW. D5082 in green has now sold out but they have just taken delivery of D5083 (Cat No. 2408A) in the same livery which is now in stock and available for sale. Also limited stock of 97201 left.
