wiggy1 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 'A' Class fitted with Mr Soundguy's RealDrive system. This video is a bit on the long side but shows the RealDrive system used by Mr Soundguy's sounds. It also shows the pulling power of this double drive 'A' class locomotive making light work of the 14 loaded bogie shale wagons. Enjoy. Wiggy. p.s. If anyone is interested in obtaining this sound decoder or any Irish sounds you can contact Mr Soundguy direct here, soundguy@btconnect.com just send him an email. Mr Soundguy will be on holiday until 22nd June 2015. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hi Wiggy Sounds good! My knowledge of irish locos is sketchy to say the least - is that a Crossley engine file? Cheers Phil Bullock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy1 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hi Wiggy Sounds good! My knowledge of irish locos is sketchy to say the least - is that a Crossley engine file? Cheers Phil Bullock Hi Phil, They were originally fitted with the Crossley engine but they were unreliable and they were re-engined with a GM 12-645E as far as I know. I think the loco the recording was done from may have had the original Crossley engine refitted but can't be sure. I'm sure someone from the Downpatrick railway will be on here and will be able to confirm that or not as that is where the recording is from. Wiggy.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 27, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks Wiggy Ah that'll be this one then http://www.irishtractiongroup.com/039.html If I read that correctly its a GM Cheers Phil Having been in the engine room of A39 can confirm it's a GM 645. The only Crossley units to survive in locos are in the Aussie MetroVicks and of course the surviving CoBo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
