robertwm3110 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have had an 0 gauge Dapol 08 chipped with legomanbiffo sound. I use the NCEProcab system for control. When i increase speed the loco moves off straight away, but when i have sound on the loco takes up to 10 seconds before moving, in either direction. Is this the way this is set up. Apologies if this is a basic error on my part but only just returning to the hobby with DCC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) This is quite normal for sound projects. It is all a part of making the locomotive behaviour more realistic, mimicking the prototype's behaviour and encouraging you to drive them more like the real things.In the Kernow 4TC topic, someone described how a mixed multiple of 4 VEP electric units and 4 TC with class 33/1 behaved when departing Victoria, with the VEPs responding almost instantly to the controller while the 33 took around 5 seconds to spool up and deliver power, resulting in a delayed surge of acceleration, just in time to shut off power for a speed restriction..ESU LokPilot 4 and LokSound 4 also have a CV that can be adjusted to increase the delay before movement occurs with no sound. While this is probably not of use for an 08, it is useful for those who run locomotives in multiple (in a DCC consist) where they wish to mix sound and non-sound locos, allowing adjustment so the two (or more) locos don't 'fight' each other when taking off.

Charlie PPS To start quicker from you fiddle yard just move off without sound, when moving turn on the sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie the plumber Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Does anyone out there know of a you tube clip with the new Biffo 08 sounds ? I did ask the great man himself about fitting it to a 00 gauge 08 but he felt that the smaller gauged model wouldn't do the sound project justice .
