mikeg Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Paul, which chip have you used? is it all in issue 116, also seeing the video of the loco with the varying sound is it changeable or will I need different chips? regards mike g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each variant of the Class 08 is a project in it's own right, so only one per decoder at a time. Of course, any ZIMO sound decoder can be reblown with another ZIMO sound project, so it would be possible to swap with the variant currently loaded. (But not by using CVs like the Multi-Drive class 37s and 47s for example). Kind regards, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Aye most impressive Paul, especially the bi-colour lower lights(led's) just shows what can be achieved, but can I squeeze all that into an 00 model ? .....now there's another project for that (long) to do list - a friend has already been experimenting with bi-colour 0402 SMD's on one of his (00) 08's.... Need to have a wee look at the mag next time I'm in Tesco's ......assuming 116 is the current issue ? RegardsKen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Q663368 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I had a quick read of The article in Hornby Mag 116 last night. Looks interesting so will give it a go. Paul, how did you re-map your Protodrive to control the lighting ?. Kindest regards Alan With apologies for posting on Dapol 08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
