RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 I am not at home right now but I have a factory fitted Hornby A4 sound. I can look when I get home if you haven't got a reply by then. From memory it is a Loksound V3.5 chip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldTrainLad Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Ok thanks, yeah it is that chip Edited January 26, 2020 by WakefieldTrainLad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I have the Hornby sheet in front of me. F1 Sound on/off F2 Whistle F3 Coupler F4 Air pump F5 Injector F6 Shunting mode F7 Coal Shoveling F8 Conductors signal F9 Brake release F10 Whistle short 1 F11 Whistle short 2 It is indeed a Loksound V3.5 These are from "Herring Gull" R2805XS but I think yours was released not long after and very likely witht he same chip and sound files. Hope that helps. Regards, Tom Edited January 26, 2020 by Dominion Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldTrainLad Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thank you so much, that info is really helpful! Does the brake function still work on yours, mine doesn’t, might have disabled it and don’t know how to get it running again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 The brakes aren't mentioned in the rest of the instruction sheet as far as I can tell, except for Marklin Zimo and Lenz systems. The F9 button is just a brake release sound I think and may not have any effect on the loco's motion. You are running on DCC I assume ? It says for more details on the chip go to "Loksound V3.5 Installation and Operating Manual" Failing that CV8 =8 is the reset function n the instructions.

RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 I just went and tried mine for you. I also do not see or hear a reaction to F9 while stationary, or at low speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 Last one on the list is a longer manual for the V3.5 than came with the model. https://www.Hornby.com/us-en/downloads/view/index/cat/31/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 I had a quick flick through that longer manual and I do not see anything obviously helpful for the F9 function question that you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dominion Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 This page on the Hornby forum says that yours is actually equipped with a V4 chip, so is likely different to mine. https://www.Hornby.com/us-en/forum/a4-sound-decoder/?p=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
