Pillar Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Accurascale Fran said: Hi Pillar, Many thanks. If you mean are the high and low horns separate functions and playable on their own, then I am happy to confirm that yes they are! Cheers! Fran Thanks Fran, I've heard the term 'playable' used to describe horn functions where the tone continues as long as the button is depressed, which is a nice feature as doesn't restrict the horns to pre-set durations. Regardless, it's good to hear that the tones will be on separate buttons. Cheers, Liam Edited June 9, 2020 by Pillar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This loco is representative of that. After ETH was fitted, the second engine would remain idling until the first would approach full power, then it would explode into life. We are working with ESU to feature this on appropriate locos. Cheers! Fran If they are going to explode into life I think we have discovered the reason for trash napier instead of thrash 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this is a great feature which is sadly missing from many RtR sound-fitted locos. Hope so, it’ll bring back fond memories of my Uncle playing on ikley moor ba tat on the 55’s horns as he whizzed past Finsbury Park bridge for me when I was a dot......later on I got to ride with him as well 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran A) I like how you have shared that with everybody even before any models are made, it gives a good insight as to whats in there B) I hope the 37 and 92 have as many features! Is the lighting function logic carried on the decoder (Hattons 66 probably best example where each LED set is an output and the decoder is programmed accordingly) or is some of it done by the circuit-board (Bachmann 90 for example latches end off, day/night and cab light with an output rather than switching from one output to another)? Maybe a bit soon to be asking but I am interested! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit soon to be asking but I am interested! Hi Tom, Everything is on the decoder for the Deltic. And yes, we will be going to the same lengths for the 37, and even further on the 92. We may have lost the run of ourselves a bit on the 92 and nerded out a lot, but it's a bit special. All will be revealed on that one very soon!

Just get it right Accurascale, don't rush it (but do keep us informed of necessary any delays). Fantastic model 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60526 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I viewed the class 55 yesterday and it is mightily impressive. So to pick up on the words "definitive deltic" in the video, it certainly looks it, I don't know all the functions the sound chip has, but F15 is an English voice announcing a departure from Waverley? By parentage I'm half Scottish but saw Deltics mainly at the Kings Cross end, but if I put the other hat on it would be good to hear an Edinburgh accent announcing a Waverley departure. Come to think of it, if I lived in or around Newcastle, perhaps announce the departures to London or Edinburgh in a geordie accent...Definitve Deltic?

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted June 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 13, 2020 Silly thought - is it really appropriate to use up a sound function on a locomotive for a sound that is not of the locomotive? A guard's whistle I can just about understand, but station announcements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
