PM47079 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Does anyone do a specific sound chip for these locos? I am especially interested if they have the distinctive electric fan noise this batch had. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF96 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I have a TTS decoder in my 47401 and the fan sound is quite pronounced. I wouldn’t know if it was electric or steam driven. I have suggested that Hornby post their sounds on the model product page so folk can listen to them but very few such examples exist to date. Certainly not the 47 which is only available as a retro kit on pre-order at present. Edit - see Richard Crofts post March 14 here - ignore the picture below as the link to the page has grabbed the first post. Just go to the page and scroll to his last post of the day. Edited March 25, 2020 by RAF96 Link to Class 47 sound test page. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first twenty 47s have electric fans rather than hydrostatic on the rest, they are quite distinctive and not on the TTS chip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM47079 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 So there isn't actually anything available yet. Hopefully with 47401 & 47402 still running we may get one at some point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Good news! I have a high quality recording of the fan of 47401 and this was a feature of my v4 version of the 47/4. On that, you could choose between a normal fan or the much louder electric fan from 47401 just by setting CV48 (0 normal, 1 for electric). I must admit it’s a feature I had forgotten all about until I read this post. I’m just in the process of adding the feature to my more recent ETH 47 sound project (referred to as the Mid Norfolk to differentiate it from my earlier one). Again this will be user-selectable via CV (CV155 this time as it’s a v5 chip). Bif 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beejack Posted March 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2020 I did a video 4 years ago showing the different sounds on the TTS class 47401 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M0lBzaJfY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a TTS chip in a Bachmann 47 it has a really irritating straight air release where it is done in stages for some reason not like how its released 90 percent of the time in one go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the CV3 accel set at 15 to get the brake release to play correctly. Same for cylinder blow down on steamers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
