Proof will be in the pudding though, and we shall see in the coming days. We may convince you yet! I do agree with your sentiments on sound, hence the effort we have put into it. Also, just to point out to everyone, this exact set up will be in our Class 92 and 37 too, as well as our Irish Metro Vick locos! Cheers, Fran Hi Fran Well if your new Deltic sounds as good as this, I'll be delighted with it, and if any better it would be a bonus ! I believe this model has 2 x Loksound 4's and 2 YES 2 x EM2 speakers, really sounds the business. Regards Ken 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted March 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2020 We're pretty confident our set up will nail the Deltic drone! Just need to sort out somewhere to test it, but sadly we are in lockdown for the next 2 weeks It's killing us we cant test it in the meantime! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 55020 Posted March 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Nah, it's not an EM2 as that's just the name that DC-Kits use. It actually is a T1-1925S Steve Edited March 30, 2020 by 55020 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al though Ive dabbled in DCC sound for the last 12 years, I am sometimes left underwhelmed when it comes to sound in 00 or H0 models- however! A few months ago, I discovered the sounds of Legoman Biffo and the EM2 speaker, coupled with Lok sounds 'drive lock' feature, all that underwhelming-ness was about to change. Equipped with a pair of DCC ready Bachmann 37's and my small milling machine, I set to work and this is the result- Now, Im going on a theory that could turn out to be correct or wrong, but the speaker in that Deltic above looks very much like an EM2, by my reckoning, the Accurascale Deltic will be an absolute beast in the sound department. They are not messing about with this! Now that is very good!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, we were serious when we said we are popping in two speakers into the sound fitted versions. Not only that, but a nice meaty bass reflex too! We 'may' have an early version of our sound to demonstrate, and will try to work out a safe place to test it and shoot a quick video. With the power pack, numerous lighting functions and serious sound systems, our Deltic is going to be one of the most advanced models out there. We are due decorated samples in May and delivery in November 2020. If we are successful in our video mission we will pop the results up here in the coming days. Cheers and stay safe! Fran At the risk of being shot down in this thread I have to confess I was never a fan of the Deltic and this model was a long way down the pecking order for me . All that changed when I heard about this model and the plans Accurascale had for sound on it. I now have a long rake of coaches just waiting for a Deltic to come along and haul a Railtour. Seeing the images of the speakers above just leaves me drooling at the prospect even more. I look forward to watching the final stages of this project evolve and have every confidence that you guys at Accurascale will deliver an absolute beast. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I was the same but now I just have to have it thus gone for Alycidon from Rails, if I can afford it next year I may well get the other green one as well that's in preservation. I've got nothing to haul when I get my 55 but I'm interested to know what coaches would be suitable for today's Railtours where the Class 55 partakes, any advice would be most welcome.

I've only ever seen Alycidon run in the last few years (granted on only 2 occasions) with BR Blue/Grey MK2 aircons - handily now available from Bachmann with interior lights, no less! Now that would be one stunning train on any layout... (I'm absolutely not sorry for filling the thread with pictures of this great machine!)

TomScrut Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 On the topic of coaches for rail tours, I think I ought to get some blue/grey mk2s. I have 5 chocolate/cream mk1s that I have for this reason (cost me about £10 a coach, cant complain) but I think the mk2s look better and appear quite often on this sort of thing. Would be Hornby ones though rather than Bachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement Too be honest I don't know much about coaches and what Hornby or Bachmann have to offer to get close to prototypical as in the images above thus would you be able to point me in the right direction on which ones are the best to order whether they are available now or as a pre-order, any info would be greatly appreciated. I did have a look but was unsure as some of them didn't have cantrails and were for Era 7 and others seemed suitable which were designated Era 9 from Bachmann, just a novice when it comes to coaches. Many thanks in advance. Cheers Steve Edited April 10, 2020 by classy52 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to demo the sound very soon, but we are in lockdown here at the moment so cant access the office layout and have no facilities at home. Working on a (safe!) workaround in the meantime!

classy52 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Watch this video compilation of the Class 55 Deltic. Apart from detail & workmanship which I'm sure will be A+ on the model (don't make me eat my words ) but if Accurascale can get the model to sound like these prototypes they will be forever revered as the Gods of Ireland! ...seriously the sound from these make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

No Decorum Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yes indeed; a superb video. They sound terrific on just one engine. Would a sound option of running on just one engine be feasible? Does anyone else agree that it would be desirable? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
