faa77 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Anybody know which exact sound decoder Hornby R2803XS and R2900XS came with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 31 233 (R2803XS) was an ESU LokSound v. 3.5, according to my spreadsheet I use to keep track of these things. I had mine reblown with Howes sound a couple of years or more ago.I don't own the second one, so cannot comment on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 R2900XS (31247 in RF red stripe) is also a Loksound 3.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A matching pair would have been useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 While sound is very much in the ear of the listener, to me, the Hornby sound seemed more like a class 37 than a 31. Even so, it wasn't bad, and had more functions available than the Howes one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted October 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2016 I think most, if not all of the non railroad Hornby diesels with sound use the ESU 3.5. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am not aware of 4.0 one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I am wrong but I am not aware of 4.0 one. Quite a few more recent examples have V4s including these mentioned on the site. R3267XS (Class 60) also has a V4 too. http://www.Hornby.com/us-en/downloads/view/index/cat/30/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted October 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks David. It makes sense that recent and fir6thcoming releases will have the v4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
