TomScrut Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Seems that the ones listed where you can select DCC ready/sound inside the listing have it. The ones where there are separate listings for DCC ready/sound don't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells you it's sold out, then also still has the pre order button (which takes you to an empty cart) but no alert option. Good point!

BrakeCoach Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Preordered the SYE class 30, and maybe I could fit sound later on since there are sound decoders available by legomanbiffo and others. I wonder how accurate the sounds are though--of course it wouldn't be 100% accurate but I am not sure how close they are. If a SYE Class 31 get announced, maybe this would be a good opportunity to have both of them side-by-side too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do go “third party”, I’d still suggest ESU. They’re not my personal favourite, but Accurascale design their electronics around ESU, so always the “safe” choice 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to purchase one from his outlets that will work out of the box and the 92 has the accurathrash speaker built in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the class 30 specs? I thought it was not possible to get 100% accurate ones. IIRC legomanbiffo has made them for AS models but would they be on sale in the AS website as well?

RMweb Gold McC Posted November 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2023 Per a recent update we will have Class 30 sound files on offer also. The class 92 license precluded non OEM sales (meaning we could factory install but not sell separately ). Only the first run Class 92 is different in this way. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomer1979 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Is anyone else curious about where Accurascale are getting their Mirrlees engine sounds from? I've been searching for a good while and the only genuine one I've heard is a couple of seconds on a British Transport Film. Surely that's not enough to go on. Any clues? Neil.

Shhhhh don't tell any one....accurascale have access to the national rail reserves at a secret cave installation where 20 withdraw 31s have been retro fitted with mirrlees power packs and are painted in WD grey...all modernisation locos where EMP shielded.....shhh don't tell any one! Model in this livery due in shops end of first quarter or start of 2nd quarter 2024! Wink 😉 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 They are out there if you know where to look. Sounds can be sampled and oversampled and generated to replicate the originals both digitally and genuine. 👍👍😉😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds can be sampled and oversampled and generated to replicate the originals both digitally and genuine. 👍👍😉😉 But it does help if the Mirrlees engine is "motored" to start it using the Brush main generator. No starter motors spinning the flywheel need to be employed in the making of the Class 30 sound files !!!🙂 Not suggesting for one minute that Accurascale would stoop to such levels, but the only real answer is to locate a JV12whatever in running order, and try and make it sound like it is inside a steel box with exhaust thrash coming out the exhaust ports. Obviously possible to add in all the auxilliary noises like exhausters, compressors, cab door slams and AWS dingalings etc EDIT The point about this is - I was born in 1962 in a city a few miles away from class 30 / 31 action, and they were all reengined before I started wearing long trousers. I didn't see and hear my first class 31 until 1977 at York, when I realised back then that they sounded very much like a sleepy class 37. They of course were a derated 1470hp non intercooled version of the 1750hp class 37 lump. So just how many people on here actually do seriously remember what the sounded like with a Mirrlees lump in them .

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted December 10, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2023 Dunno - but I used to work on many Mirrlees straight 8 generator engines, and I forever will know their sound. Irrelevant, but they are out there - re-used in smaller vessels as main engines etc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) I read most of the Mireless engines removed from Class 30s where sold for marine use. I believe the only reason the Class 31 didn’t get the 12CSVT was down to the limitation of the Brush main generator. BR apparently priced up replacing the Brush main Generator, and allow fitment of the 12CSVT (as fitted to the 37) to make them into a Type 3, but the cost was too high. Hence receiving the 12SVT rated to match the Brush main generator. Edited December 17, 2023 by richierich 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted December 18, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hi everyone, It is an excellent recording we received from a private source. We really must get round to doing a video of it. It sounds mega. Cheers! Fran 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
