charliepetty Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) With the impending arrival of the Dapol Class 59's, we have been working on our New Class 59 project, which is actually recorded from a real 59 !!! The distinctive Class 59 sounds can be heard in this little movie. We are enthustically waiting for the model to arrive so we can fine tune our project, to suit the actual Dapol production model with its array of lighting features. Sit back with some popcorn and enjoy the movie. Edited August 29, 2021 by charliepetty 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Just got in some new speakers, thought we would pop them in a Class 25, one was Ok but I was not impressed, so for a £10.00 I thought I would put in TWO., Now sounds far better I think !!! Le5t me know If you want some. Charlie.

RMweb Gold Soul Survivor Posted September 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2021 Are these speakers rated at 4ohm or 8ohm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Soul Survivor Posted September 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2021 The reason I asked the question is because on DC Kits website it says ‘If using two speakers with a ESU Decoder they should be wired in Series’. Therefore I (incorrectly) assumed the speakers to be rated at 4ohms each. If they are rated at 8ohms each then that is good to know as I prefer to fit twin speakers in my locos wired in parallel.

These are 8 Ohm speakers, so fitting two together is easy, just wire on Parallel for reasonable sounds as demonstrated. get them here: https://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=223_75&product_id=379 See wiring sketch below, very easy to fit.

charliepetty Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Thank you for everyone who we chatted to at the N Gauge show and especially the ones who gave us some 'Money' !!! and also for the Pre-orders on the new Farish locos for sound fitting. Brilliant to meet you all. Its great to be getting back to normal, as thats the only proper way you can assess if our sounds are any good or not. Youtube is good 'BUT' you really need to hear with your own ears before you buy in my opinion, so thanks to everyone we met.

charliepetty Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 We never realised how popular Class 08's were, thanks for the 'mad rush' on every one out there ordering them !!. Especially on O Gauge, we have a demo one with 3 speakers, any why not.

legomanbiffo Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I am making enquiries about Flirt recordings with an operator. I have some recordings of a 180 but they are not up to my latest standards. So in both cases chip releases are some way off yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
