mevaman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 At long last I have fitted my 09 with Paul's excellent ('OMG') 'Protodrive' sound project on a Zimo MX645R. I am still learning to drive the loco properly as you can see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Here is my second loco, an 08 for which I have to fit the body. This contrasts with the 09 in that it has a whistle (so typical if an 08) and wooden doors. Paul's sound files have loads of options, allowing you to properly 'drive' the loco. You also control the brake sound using F2 which, for me, gives more prototypical braking sounds. There is even a sound for the windscreen wipers. I absolutely love these and am looking forward to properly driving them on my small exhibition layout. Loads of thanks to Paul, who has been an immense help. Ignore my amateur camera work at the end!

pauliebanger Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I have fitted Zimo sound decoder produced by Paul Chetter and a express lighting kit I can't get the red led to light because I need to remap function buttons to light them I have cab light and both front and rear white leds working when the loco is in forward or reverse can anyone help The standard ActiveDrive Class 08 sound project from Digitrains should already have Function Outputs 1 and 2 assigned to tail lights, using F20 so what would be required would be to wire up the LEDs to the correct FOs. The lighting PCBs may not be set up for 4 function lighting * How to do this will depend upon the decoder type used. Please reveal the decoder model designation and I can advise further. Kind regards, Paul * if you are certain that you have wired the tail lamp LEDs correctly to FOs 1 and 2, then ensure that CVs 436 = 20, 438 = 2 and 440 = 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locospotter Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi Paul the decoder is the Zimo MX645R and the express lighting kit is four function with cab light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
