So they were right about the 158 arriving before Christmas, just not the livery I have on order though 🙄😂 Oh well. hopefully the others won't be that far behind.

Andy_C Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) My wife got me the late crest sound fitted Farish 2MT. It runs very nicely out of the box. The sounds are nice too. I actually read the instructions for this one, and discovered the breaking F2 function (when throttle set back to 0). Doh.

I’m modelling the 1990’s so would love an intercity swallow 47, perhaps next year then reading some of these comments. That loos great, whats the sound like? Been looking on youtube but nothing so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is great, as good as the OO version. I’ve used the chassis of the RES version to give me a sound fitted Rail Blue version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great, much better volume than I thought. Great responsiveness from the decoder and speaker combined with the active braking sounds really bringing it all alive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benatkinsonuk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 For @meatloaf and others that are interested, here’s a video of the new Graham class 47 with sound. This is an unlisted video as I’ve put this on my aviation channel (I haven’t done a video for a while!) so feel free to share but only those who have the link will see it, but it’s not up to my usual production standards so won’t released on a public link. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, i think thats the best sound weve had so far on an N scale diesel. I thought the 31 was good but this beast it in my eyes ( ears ). Sounds like the same soundfile used in the new 00 scale 47s. Thank you, one will be ordered come payday :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really Is impressive. This is at full volume setting on the lock but only captured on an iPhone from varying distances from the speaker. It’s not cheap but I’ve had friends see this who aren’t model enthusiasts, and they’re blown away that it can do what it can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only getting a couple of diesels with sound. I don't have one et. I have the Recently released 2MT and Standard 5 steam with sound, and they are lovely.

Happy to only have a couple of locos with sound, but they have to be something I definitely want if I’m spending money like that. Probably just plain BR blue for me if it’s of the correct era.

Based on recent evidence, same livery, new number is also possible although not my preference. Of course a 158 club special is also a possibility. Were I wishlisting, which of course I never would, I still hold out hope for an OTA ROB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 29 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29 SWT/SWR 159 could be a possibility, a centre coach for the 158/159 must surely also be in the offing? Of course I will also mention the woeful omission of a decent Class 25/3 again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I will also mention the woeful omission of a decent Class 25/3 again... I would have thought a Deltic or a Peak would be priority after the 47 and perhaps an upgrade to the 37. Of course a 56 might be coming too what with the 69 taking shape somewhere and another company doing a body upgrade to their model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
