dave55uk Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 A friend of mine (not on RMWeb) had his Loch Eil delivered, along with the AS sound chip but not the extra speaker. He says he's not impressed with the sound from the built-in speaker. As my 37 is not due until the end of August, when my sound chip AND speaker arrive, I'll let him fit them into his 37. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hade one delivered Monday with my decoder and a couple of other bits , still no sign of the loco though and TMC can't tell me when it will be , saw Peters Spares had advertised some loco's on ebay earlier so ordered a sound fitted one as I'm fed up with waiting , hopefully that will be here by weekend When the other turns up it will probably get renumbered and the sound package fitted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 14, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2023 We would always recommend the additional Accurathrash speaker with our sound decoders for full experience and it just plugs into the PCB too (no need to solder!) We have just sold out but more are due in stock in a couple of weeks. Cheers! Fran 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmar Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Just got word from Rails, payment cleared for Loch Eil. Accurathrash and sound decoder lie in wait. Yezzz! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted June 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2023 Shapfell on its way. Looks like my 3 will be on their way in reverse chronological order to me placing the orders, with Shapfell (no sound) and Loch Eil (full phat sound!) from Rails and 043 Loch Lomond direct from Accurascale. Not a problem, but useful info perhaps for those who ordered similarly to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmar Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Probably covered before. Am I right in saying that the smaller speaker is not fitted to the DCC ready option. If not can I fit my own without any probs. Or is there one available as a spare from Accurascale. Apologies for not paying attention, will stand in the corner for the rest of the evening! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, small speaker and stay alive are both fitted to DCC Ready versions. It's the Accurathrash speaker and Sound Decoder that need adding to get the same as the DCC Sound version. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way ahead of you here, have had the sound decoder and Accurathrash speaker waiting the arrival of Loch Eil which I believe is now winging its way to me very shortly.

Apologies for not paying attention, will stand in the corner for the rest of the evening! So the website I believe is a little misleading as it states the below (37027 used but I checked a few others too), which I would read that it's only the sound fitted one's that get a small or Accurathrash speaker. However, I am very confident, both based on everything that has been said on here by the Accurascale team and from previous releases, that the small iPhone style speaker is to be fitted as standard to both DCC ready and DCC Sound Fitted whilst the Accurathrash speaker is only fitted to DCC Sound only. This is why only the Accurathrash speaker is sold separately. Therefore (DCC Ready + DCC Sound Chip (from Accurascale) + Accurathrash speaker) is identical to DCC Sound Fitted, apart from having to fit them yourself/ box label. All the DCC features cards have had both versions on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2023 Ok that was easy. Black tack is holding the speaker down - I'd still like to be able to buy the two "factory" retaining clips if possible please? DIP switches tweaked as per the guide before fitting the decoder of course. An observation - considering the numbers produced (i.e a lot) I wonder if "flat flexible cables" would have been improvement on the normal wires between things? Would certainly have made assembly easier. Just an observation :) The body was off so these cheeky chaps could settle in: I've used glue n glaze as it was handy. Best set something up to test it now! 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to add a suitable range of options at a nominal (at cost) price that you can pick when ordering a speaker. 3 1 1 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind adding on the cost but if they are the best way to hold them down it would be nice to have everything in one go to fix in the speaker 😉 I think that would only work if the clips were the same for all models (for all I know they might be)? But yes it would be useful for the future to be able to buy them at the same time :) Ok, I was NOT expecting to feel the desk move when the engine starting sound is running 😲🙃😍 Edited June 14, 2023 by Bucoops Cross-posted with McC :) 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, especially if you could add a prompt on the speaker page that says click for fitting clips or something. Just link them electronically rather than in packaging 👍 I accidentally bought 027 as well this week so will be adding another decoder and speaker as the current ones are for 043! 😁 Edited June 14, 2023 by PaulRhB 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
