RMweb Premium Peter Beckett Posted September 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2016 I purchased Bif's West Highland Class 37 file to learn more about Full Throttle and he mentioned the EM1 speaker. I had only been casually watching this thread and did not realise it was more than a " World Tour" so will watching more carefully from now on. After experimenting with a ESU GM FT sound file in my 37, I was very impressed with Bif's file. It certainly changes ones driving habits on the layout. I am now awaiting more info on the EM1 speaker (thanks for the size postings) Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now awaiting more info on the EM1 speaker (thanks for the size postings) Peter We are doing slightly more with the Full Throttle feature and upgrading the sound files to work in conjunction with this feature, we are calling it 'DRIVELOCK' also in the upgrade is 'AUTOFADE' this is a lighting & sound feature for older locomotives not using LED lighting systems on the prototype. The Janus shunter has been the test bed for the innovation's and is shortly being rolled out through the range, DMU's are being worked on currently. Patience please as all this take time. The Janus Shunter is really good and Biff now likes shunters, Sad Bloke!!! Charlie 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP 4000 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I can agree with that, after watching the video I went and ordered one and 2 wagon packs!!! and was never into the diesel scene. It was always steam for me, but with the sound and lighting I've swayed over, the steamers are on a bit of a backburner (pardon the pun,) The diesel's are taking over and with Biff's DriveLock a host more will be coming along, It's even got to the point where I'll buy one just to fit the sound in, The list's getting longer, looking at eight different sound files now needed, just need to prioritise which comes first, well dependant more on which one's biff releases first. Will there be a video of the LMS 10000?? Would love to hear what that sounds like, And yes that's on the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmar Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hi Charlie, I shall be at Wigan with the SDEG group on Hazelbank and am looking to get a couple of Bachmann CL37's re-blown with the new updated versions. I take it you can accomodate me as usual - for a small fee! Bill (in Alloa ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Bill / all, The various full throttle features are a bit of a game changer with, in programming terms, far-reaching consequences. I need to manage their introduction carefully so that there are no unintended consequences or impact upon existing functionality that people have become used to. As such it's taking me a bit longer than expected to 'bring them to market'. I'll do my best to have something ready for Wigan but if not we'll take your details and let you know as soon as it's ready. Bif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
