Tallpaul69 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi All, Has anyone fitted an 00 gauge DVT/ class 67 or class 68 with diesel sound and lights chips to run trains such as the Wrexham and Shropshire or Chiltern Rail trains? For instance I am contemplating a class 67 with TTS sound chip running on the same code number as a non sound chip in a DVT. What are the potential problems?

I would have thought the sounds from a DVT were pretty limited, but I have little experience of them at the lineside, so maybe I am wrong?

Many thanks Paul Legomanbiffo has done a sound project for DVTs. Horns sound from the correct end & there are other sounds too, like aircon, brake systems. It also plays the same coach sounds as the loco (Mk3 coach wail etc). This reduces the effect of the train sounds disappearing with the loco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 DVT sounds include but are not limited to; Hydraulic parking brake on/off Ticking spirax valve Horns Buckeye coupling Brake application and release Driver’s door slam Driver’s air conditioning Sliding side door open/close Guard to driver right away signal Despatch whistle Mk3 airbag suspension sounds Flange squeal ’Running’ sounds Detonators Cab light switch on/off The latest versions of my Mk3 DVT is set up as a ‘matched pair’ to run with my 67, 68, 86, 87 and 90. My Mk4 DVT is similarly set up to run with my 91. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
