charliepetty Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Very busy this time of year, YouTube clips will be done when time permits. Charlie PPS The old one was quite good, but when we were out recording the new project, its failing in our eyes were known and we spent quality time hiring the full train for 'TWO' full days to get the recordings we required to create a totally new project. Total Commitment from the Legomanbiffo Team, and a nice donation to the loco owners too! Charlie 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durranhill Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi Charlie / Biff , Any chance of a new class 50 project , I recall Biff saying a couple of years ago that his 50 project was rather old & basic but he had done a new set of recordings .

Stewart . Carlisle? 50? Don't see the connection. Kidding of course. I spent many a day at New Yard, watching them go through, 2 at a time. I'm modelling the East Coast Main Line but still have a pair to run so I'm certainly interested in the definitive class 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie reffin Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Got round to installing my Class 27 sound decoder and tank unit today. Wow!! What a brilliant sound coming from it. So pleased with the quality. Well done guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Stewart, I did revisit my existing Class 50 recordings recently to bring them closer to 'modern standards'. I made some fairly significant improvements to the responsiveness, and made the much quicker warm start the default. You can still kick-off with the cold start if you wish by turning F1 off and back on again. Quite a few other minor improvements as well, including drivelock, sound fade in and out on the move, slow light fade and so on. Richard Armstrong and I did record another loco and had four mics deployed. The recordings are great at idle and slow speeds but all four sets suffer from a very weird artefact when the loco opens up, like you were listening to it down a long drainpipe. As such they are unusable. Haven't worked out how much that cost us but fortunately we recorded another loco the same day so not a complete write-off. We will try again at some point, with a different loco. Bif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

legomanbiffo Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Dave, Don't listen to Charlie, he'll tell you anything! :-) I had originally intended the serial number to follow on from my existing 47 as I only planned to change the engine sounds, so it would have been v4 mnr 47 v15 or whatever the 47 is up to, I forget. A handful went out like that. I quickly realised that there were going to be quite a number of new features over and above that (handbrake on / off sounds, new horns, reverser hiss when you change ends, sanders etc) so I decided to give it its own identity; v4 mnr 47 v1 (mnr being Mid-Norfolk Railway, where it was recorded). One of the features I've recently rolled out is to set one of the user id CV's (CV105) to the version number, so you can read it without having to open the loco and read the little white label.
