Has anyone fitted one, if so could you please advise.

Paul. 

Sizing up the speaker, I had to remove the support for the PCB board, using a spare Accurascale EM1, clipping off the tabs, 

I refitted 1 weight above the speaker plus using black tac to stop the speaker connecting to it.

my next to do list is to sort out the wiring for the lights, looking through the original post I wondered if @zr2498 or @Wagonmaster could re put there findings, as the pictures on no longer on there? 

I’ve managed to get all the functions working on the Hornby Deltic using Accurascale Class 55 sound file. Some of this was trial and error to which aux would work. Roads and Rail put up on his Facebook page what aux and cv do on the model. Like I say some of this I had to guess. 
 

if you follow the function mapping copy this down. 
 

I’ve now managed to get the fans working using aux 3 and 4, I need to tell the decoder what to do 

the output mode I’ve change to Ventilator and change the required rate to get it to work, also please remember to adjust the screw on the PCB as these where off. I would like to get the fans to be automatic ie when it been running for a long time the fan engage and when it sit idling and the coolant system has cooled down the fans turn off. Would like some help with this. 
 

the Mars light work in both Direction, as do cab instrument panel, cab lighting, engine room lights.

I’d like to get the cab light to turn off as soon when the locomotive moves. 
 I want to get the horns to work just on one function a high and low tone as I want F2 to become the brake. 
 

the next part I want to get is the loading of the engine, recently I’ve watch D9000 coming out of Euston, the acceleration at the station was very Quick with a loading train. Grant you can’t get it like the real thing but getting it close will do.

@zr2498 hopefully I’ll get some help with it.

@McC Hope you don’t mind me using your sound decoder 👍🏻🤣
 

What I need some help/ideas for is what DCC decoder and sound profile are the best sounding for the model?

It's a 21pin decoder and also best ideas/options for speakers.

Please help me with your infinite wisdom 😄

Many thanks,

Reece

I can't get it to run on DC though.

CV29 was set to 0 by default so I tried sum 4 and also tried CV8 factory reset.

Any ideas or is it a DCC only loco?

Does anyone know if someone in the UK can do this perhaps?

Many thanks

John

Any help would be appreciated

And nothing. No sound no movement nothing. Loco was fitted with a lenz decoder and worked fine.  Hornby nothing. Lenz back in works fine. Any thoughts as to what to try. Bluetooth seems to connect. 

I am changing to dcc in the settings menu

Thanks in advance.

I have deliberately left the topic title open for anyone to post their sound videos here. It may get a little long-winded but it seems to me that rather than having everyone posting the videos in their own separate threads it would be a sort of repository where anyone looking to buy the Howes / SWD / Olivias / etc. or Bachmann / Hornby factory-fitted sound decoders can look and listen to help make up their minds before parting with their hard-earned dollar-pounds. (Of course, there may also be US and European sounds here as well but I am not qualified or experienced enough to comment on those myself.

I got a Hornby Lord Nelson Class ´Sir Walter Raleigh´ no. 30852 (Hornby R3732) as it was good price at Rails of Sheffield. 

Now I never did a sound conversion or dcc conversion as I mostly buy DCC sound loco´s . What would be the suitable decoder and speaker for this model? The Hornby instructions only refer to an 8 pin socket and a 28mm round speaker. 

Im a novice UK rail enthusiast based in Spain, thank you for your help! 

Having completed the installation, there appeared to be a clicking noise coming from the speaking, which varies between one and three clicks approximately every 7-9 seconds when the sound is on.  It does not happen when the sound is muted.

At first, I assumed I must have damaged or have a bad speaker, and removed this one and replaced with another new one, but with exactly the same results.

My first thought was that possibly I had damaged the speaker when soldering the wires to it, but I have installed many of these with TTS decoders in the past always without problems.

Could it be a faulty decoder?  I bought it around 5 years ago (new) from an exhibition and so unable to return it. 

Any ideas what I could try next to check?  Or has anyone else experienced this?

Learnt something today - the LMS 10001, as it had the Brown Boveri turbos, didnt have the whistle of the Napier ones as fitted to the D 16/2 and the Class 40

I have read that the Zimo sound chip is fitted to most of the above models, along with Loksound V5 to a few class 40?

Do we know who created the sound files for Bachmann to use for the above DS models?

Something else I've been testing for a couple of months alongside my ZIMO KLUG  https://www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/197278-zimos-new-gizmo/#comment-6049795    

I'm not sure if these are with your favourite ZIMO retailer yet, but if not they will be soon so I thought I'd give you a 'heads up'.

ZIMO have released the FS family of sound enabled function decoders. They are fully compatible with  ZIMO's MS and MN decoder families and use the same firmware to ensure inter-operability.

Sound quality can be up to 44kHz and 16 Bit, so these are serious hi-fi platforms.

The current range consists of FS850P22 (Plux interface) and FS850R (8 pin wiring harness) types. The wired decoder is £65 as they are more costly to produce. Each has 10  full power Function Outputs with up to 3 additional Logic Level FOs. They can be used on DCC or DC (or mfx, MM or AC) so as well as stand alone, they could be used to provide sound for DC models at much less cost than a full blown sound decoder operating on DC .

So what's the point of sound decoders which have no motor drive?

I'm not going to be proscriptive here, but a couple of useful applications stand out immediately.

1. Multiple units where only one motor is fitted, but sound should be available from each 'driving' end.

2. Sound can be installed in non-powered vehicles to provide appropriate sounds part way along a train. Wagons, vans, brake vans and Ethel's etc.

As well as providing sound they are fully fledged function decoders so operating lights, smoke units and servos is a breeze.

What about equipping buildings and other trackside items that could be enhanced with sound?

I can think of a few more.

What use could you see for them? Post your answers below and I'll see if they are possible.

Here are some photos of the decoders plus an MS450P22 for size comparison.

Get your thinking caps on.

I have some experience of these so I'll try to answer any queries arising.

Paul

I'm baffled by this problem and hope someone can help to fix it. I was going to post in the general DCC part as I'm sure the basic cause is the DCC system and not DCC sound as such, so here we go...

I have discovered that two (so far) of my locomotives, when run on my new layout, will not respond to commands from F2 (brake) F3 (whistle) and F4 (whistle). I don't know about other functions as I haven't tried and rarely use them anyway.

All the others that have run on the new layout work properly and respond to the above commands.

The new layout uses a Piko 55821 wireless system. The other layouts use Piko systems but these use cables to the handset and the engines that do not respond on the new layout do respond to the functions on the other layouts. Because of this I suspect that there is something about the wireless system that these two decoders will not work properly with. All decoders in all the locos are by Zimo. One loco that is suffering the problem has the exact same type (MS500) as others that work perfectly.

Many Thanks

I have purchased a suitable sound decoder to install in my EFE N Gauge Class 41.  Installing the decoder is no problem but I am wondering if anyone can provide advice on installing the speaker.  Space for a speaker is provided in the fuel tank.  The instructions that come with the model state: "There are wires provided to the location for the user to connect a speaker, when required."   However, I can't see any wires in the fuel tank space.  There are two wires (red and blue) that go down one side of the model from the PCB but these do not appear to be easily accessible from the fuel tank space.  I am uncertain whether the wires are actually going to the motor rather than being for the speaker, so I have been reluctant to play around with them.  I have attached a couple of photos of the PCB and fuel tank area of the model.  

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

With thanks,

Bryan.

Can this model be upgraded with a better speaker possibly making it louder?

4ohm or 8ohm speaker?

Or 100 ohm speaker?

I've tried Coastal DCC but he doesn't fit units from other suppliers.

Paul.

These are Bachmann WD and 9Fs. They are early models and certainly NOT DCC ready.

Cheers

Dave.
