MR PJ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) A link to a youtube video of the Graham Farish 25 with an Zimo MX648 decoder and digi-drive sounds (available from Digitrains). It does have a lovely sound, though I have turned the volume down a bit! http://youtu.be/ifnji-9yisc Edited February 2, 2015 by MR PJ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Eurostar, sounds by the legendary Legomanbiffo. I have two standard round, enclosed speakers installed, one in each power car and was wondering if I may benefit from installing a couple of subwoofers also, or just replacing for subwoofers? The current speakers are very loud but a touch tinny. I've also drilled lots of holes in the chassis as per one of the excellent tutorials on here. http://youtu.be/uT-aNqy_f7w Edited February 3, 2015 by slipstream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Very nice. I heard this Lok 3.5 version a few years ago and it still holds up pretty well today You might find that Bif has upgraded the project for Lok V4.0, so it's always best to go direct to the source. Kind regards, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Many thanks, Paul. I have spoken to Bif and the improvements since are very minimal, not enough for the postage costs for a reblow. I'm hoping that he still has the raw footage and will, as you say, produce a set for V4. It's quite obvious the sounds, although on a V4 were made for V3.5.

slipstream Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm having major will slip because of the amount of coaches unfortunately, despite having both bogies powered. I've ordered some traction tyres as there are none fitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm having major will slip because of the amount of coaches unfortunately, despite having both bogies powered. I've ordered some traction tyres as there are none fitted. I don't know this model well. Do the wheels have the groove to accept tyres? If not, the circumference will be increased, changing the road speed of the affected wheels and unbalance the bogie. Kind regards, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) They do not no. Thanks. I'll have to get a motor fitted to the rear power car instead. Hopefully that'll do the trick. Edited February 3, 2015 by slipstream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) According to this http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/service_sheets/hss-221d-eurostar.pdf The wheels are meant to have them fitted as standard?

pauliebanger Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 From that, it would seem so, but all the Hornby models I have with traction tyres (not Eurostar) have a groove in which the tyre sits, maintining the normal circumference. I can't advise more on this specific model, perhaps a question for Eurostar owners? Kind regards, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Understood Paul. I can only assume that the wheels that should take them are slightly shorter in circumference, which in turn would lead to erratic running if they're not fitted I presume?

SRman Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Nice vids, Slipstream. Bif's sounds are very good, aren't they?On a different note, I couldn't help noticing that the 3-car 4 CEP unit on one of the lines behind the locomotives has the composite coach marshalled the wrong way round. I say this not to nit-pick, but just in case you have difficulties with the lighting, as the connections are 'handed'. The coaches should be marshalled with the SO's toilet nearest the driving motor and the CK's first class section towards the SK (i.e. the centre of the unit).

tractor_37260 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 http://youtu.be/GmF3ABAAZK8 Sandy Very nice - a lovely slow smooth start off and then gliding to a stop - just as the real ones do - unlike so many Utube clips where the model takes off like an F1 car and then stops on a sixpence !! Great sounds once again from Bif - I assume Lok 4's fitted ? Regards Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks, Ken. Yes twin Lok 4s fitted by Charlie and Biff's sounds. I've had many DCC sound loco's but this is in a league of its own. Very loud, clear sound, enhanced with the cooler fans and coach wail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR PJ Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) 47642 Strathisla (with an excellent set of nameplates and crests from Shawplan) has a spin on my West Highland test layout. It has a Zimo decoder with the latest sound files from Paul Chetter. Driving is realistic, as if you shut the power right off the loco will coast like the prototype. The F2 key enables the loco to brake. Takes a bit of getting used to, but is a lot of fun. A bit of a distraction from modelling which I should be cracking on with really! https://youtu.be/mrOBcILDF98 Edited April 11, 2015 by MR PJ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
