grahame Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Another rather sparce list this month... Although buying just one of each will set you back north of £400. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR PJ Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello, Agree there are not many new items, but surely the first RTR sound fitted model is something pretty revolutionary, and from what I've seen so far a really good sound project too. I know that some people are not keen on sound, but I think this is going to be something that increases the popularity of 2mm scale modelling in the future, It even has the basic sound function on DC, so surely this is something that is helping N to move forward at a time it needs to compete with the larger scales.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted July 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello all, Having seen a video of the sound fitted 108 I am very impressed. Fitting sound to N Gauge models is not for the faint-hearted, so to have the hard work done at the factory, with decoder and speaker designed in and pre-programmed, will make a real difference and in my view be a real game-changer.

bingley hall Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The last two posts say it all You just can not please some people whatever you do. Not really, they just appear to be stating facts. There has been a dearth of Farish stuff arriving over the last couple of months. Good or bad, that's up to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it is not something I could do or have the patience for Sadly having this modification carried out by a third party agent is expensive (model, plus decoder, plus conversion), and is typically £300 (new) / £200 (motor supplied) When you look at that, the Class 108 sound fitted is actually good value for money, and if continued to other models in the Farish could put such agents out of work in the long term!

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted July 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2016 One hopes that as N-gauge sound fitted models increase in number, exactly the same models are still to be available without sound........... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Agreed, it is not something I could do or have the patience for Sadly having this modification carried out by a third party agent is expensive (model, plus decoder, plus conversion), and is typically £300 (new) / £200 (motor supplied) When you look at that, the Class 108 sound fitted is actually good value for money, and if continued to other models in the Farish could put such agents out of work in the long term! At a discounted price of about £230 the sound fitted 108 is very good value for money in my view and yes, quite a lot cheaper than having one converted. My play with it at the NGS AGM was very encouraging. Good sound project, a good speaker and lots of functions (although no window rattle!) the sluggish gear-change was well captured and all the other sound functions we have come to expect. It is a leap of faith by Bachmann I'm sure and if it and the Castle (which will it appears discount to under £200) are successful, I'm sure more will follow. I'm hoping that the 40 comes with sound as an option, a "Whistler" would be an awesome choice. My only gripe with the 108 as I have mentioned elsewhere is having BR Blue as the only livery choice. From who others I have spoken to who feel as I do it certainly appears there would have been a greater demand for a BR Green one... Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supaned Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Assuming they've not had to make any changes to the body shell moulding to be able to fit the sound components in , in theory it should be possible to swap shells if you already own a 108. Does the sound fitted one have the distinctive exhaust "fart" when changing gear? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes a body swap is possible as from the conversation I had there have been no changes (the 108 was always designed with space fpr a speaker) but although I do have a green one I would have preferred not to have to do that as would like it in addition and I do not want to be stuck with a non sound blue one! It was a good sound representation and still quite audible even in what was a very noisy hall. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
