Sir TophamHatt Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Just a quick question. What does a "reblow" actually mean? Cheers Edited April 28, 2018 by Sir TophamHatt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarb Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi It means having the sounds on an existing decoder changed to a different set. For example, you may have a Class 66 and for whatever reason be unhappy with the sounds - you might find the horns too weak or want particular sounds that were not put on the decoder. There are a number of companies that will 'reblow' a decoder for you and add a fresh set of sounds. You may find a stand / company at some of the larger model railway ehxibitions that will do it there and then for you. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 55020 Posted February 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2018 The reblow process re-programmes the chip and loads in a totally new sound file. This sound file could, should you require it, be of a totally different loco type to the original one. Please note that not all sound decoders are capable of being reblown.
