Scott Read Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any improvements they have planned for their Hush-Hush's? I intend to look into lamps and possibly sound if I can be convinced by a sound file that sounds different enough to the A4 to convince me it's worth it (yes I know there are none to record new sound from but would be surprised if it couldn't be remixed from other loco sound files). Something I'm considering also is the flanged wheels or at least a way to make to cab wheels touch the rails to occasionally turn.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Indge Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Locomansounds have, or are creating a sound file for the single and double chimney original build locos along with one for the rebuilt version. Might be something to think about. Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The A4 is a three cylinder loco, the W1 as built was a 4 cylinder compound, so the sound and number of exhaust strokes (chuffs) per wheel revolution will be quite different. Here's an example available now from Digitrains: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed that the 4 flangeless wheels didn't touch the rails so that they wouldn't cause a short when swinging out traversing points and slips. At last, I have received an unbroken W1 (the new double blast pipe version) and I lowered the 4 wheels - filing the pips on the retainer- so that they touch the rails and therefore, revolve. And they don't short on points! Later today. I will be fitting Locoman's sound, so hope that all runs equally well on DCC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine wouldn't revolve as the axles are not free running in the slots, so would need a bit of fettling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
