RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2018 From what I see and understand the dimensions for the sound decoder are 20 x 9.5 x 3.5 mm. The smaller dimensions are for a standard decoder?Correct , sorry I looked at the wrong pic, I blame the grainy image.

Stueyboy43 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Correct , sorry I looked at the wrong pic, I blame the grainy image. MX659N18 (20 x 9,5 x 4 mm) No need to apologise - I had to look three or four times to make sense of it! Would it still fit I wonder?? Thanks for the link anyway as it is very useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2018 Would it still fit I wonder?? Always nice when someone helps According to the dimensions Roy Link posted on NGRM yes it should be a snug fit. Might have to trim the heat shrink sleeve with it being so tight though.

Just lots of bored coppers and it looks like a Police national convention at the Premier Inn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald & Douglas Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I assume the one on the Leighton Buzzard line would be the best candidate for someone recording the sound? I hope someone does soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuffed 1 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 At York, Dennis Lovett said they're currently on board ship between China and the UK.

Stevelewis Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) The Magazine reviews are being published in most of the mags around now so far I have only seen the RM (may issue),, some nice pics of a weathered Hummy, one thing noted is the loco weight is given as 59gm which seems a little on the light side, given some of the loco's construction is in metal ( quoted from review smokebox, front part of the boiler, tanks & Frame) As a comparison a Roco H0e 0-6-0T Feldbahnloco weighs 98gm and the Heljan MW weighs 138gm If you wish to know what 59gm feels like 7 x £1 coins weigh just over at 62gm I am quite looking forward to receiving mine though Edited April 12, 2018 by Stevelewis 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Just arrived this morning! What a model! Just need to get her in the Trenches now... More pictures and videos to follow! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A quick look at the all new Bachmann Narrow Gauge - 009 Scale - Baldwin Class 10-12-D 4-6-0T, in Weathered WDLR Black Livery. For a first in 009, Bachmann have done a superb job in capturing the overall look of these iconic Narrow Gauge Locomotives. The model throughout features a high level of detail, including extensively detailed cab interior, directional headlamps, as well characteristic daylight under the boiler, as well as wealth of separately fitted parts, such as pipe work and turned brass whistle. Straight from the box, performance is smooth and quite, thanks to their powerful Coreless Motors. In this video, we take a look at the Baldwin in action on my WW1 Trench Railway, hauling a Troop/Supply Train to the Front Line. Full Review Coming Soon!

pauliebanger Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Callum, This is what you need next, perhaps? ZIMO MX659N18 just fits. Video with genuine Baldwin sound to follow shortly. Best regards, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauliebanger Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Is that a sound decoder? If so I need 3! Steve, Yes it is. The speaker is fitted as standard, just remove a coupe of moulded items (not glued - intended for removal), release two screws from below, lift the smoke box/ side tanks/moulding clear, remove the blanking plate and plug the ZIMO MX659N18 sound decoder in the NexT18 socket in the loco. Test all working then replace removed items (not the blanking plate obviously) and have some fun. Best regards, Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thanks Paul , It looks pretty straight forward, I like Next 18 decoders, I have used quite few of them in Continental Outline N gauge locos over the last couple of years and they certainly do the job without problems. My First Baldwin is in the post as we speak and 2 more should arrive as and when so to speak! Am I correct in thinking that The decoder fitted in the SLW class 24 is ZIMO?, If the Baldwin one is half as good as the 24 then it will be brilliant, who would have thought 20 years ago we would have a sound decoder with FoG Signal/Detonator sounds included? Mind you 20 years ago we did not even have digital ready locos, just soldering iron burnt fingertips! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you 20 years ago we did not even have digital ready locos, just soldering iron burnt fingertips! Yes, the sound decoder in the SLW Class 24 is a ZIMO, but a different model. More importantly, there's only a single small speaker in the Baldwin, whereas the Class 24 has a pair of 'Dumbo' speakers in specially designed enclosures.

Stevelewis Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The SLW class 24 sound ranks amongst the best if not the best loco sound I have experienced, I actually enjoy simply letting one of them sit on the layout and ticking over whilst I do something else!
