SRman Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 I recently bought a Hornby factory sound-fitted class 56 with faulty lighting, for quite a reasonable price. I was not all that enamoured with the Hornby sounds, so looked to legomanbiffo for a reblow. The Hornby fitting uses an ESU LokSound v3.5, so it doesn't have many of the newer features that 'bif offers on v4 decoders, but I think it sounds absolutely spot on, although the video doesn't really do it justice.I placed the camera too close to the track at one point, so the locomotive does actually clout it as it passes! I still haven't fixed the lights - if anything, I made them worse in the attempts! However, I do have some after market lighting from Jason Edmonds to fit, which will give a bit more control over them as well.I also have some etched components to fit to improve things like the printed horn grilles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Just to be a bit topical, here's my own ProtoDrive sound project, optimised for the Dapol 0 Gauge shunter, featured in the video. There is an 00 gauge version available too. These projects have woking loco brakes and can realistically simulate all operating conditions and matching engine speeds yet still retain full control of the throttle at all times.

pauliebanger Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Short video of my sound fitted Hornby Peckett. It's bit of a tight fit even for a ZIMO but it all goes in nicely witjout too much work. See Hornby Magazine issue 117 for the step by step guide to sound installation.

NoelG Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Two videos of General Motors (baby GMs) CIE 141/181 class locos on Kingsbridge layout (under construction). Both LokSound by DC Kits. Models are Murphy Models CIE 141/181 class. In the middle of the first clip there is also a Black 141 with a MrSoundguy Zimo project and realdrive.

legomanbiffo Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Noel, Just to correct a point relating to your video. Whilst the Irish sounds are of the quality that our customers have come to expect, I cannot take the credit for them, they were produced by another sound programmer who supplies Charlie. I've had a play with them, they are very good and have some great functionality. Bif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise these excellent Irish DCC sound projects were produced by Wheeltappers http://www.wheeltappersdccsounds.co.uk https://vimeo.com/user44816521 I'll update the credits in my clips in due course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelG Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Wheeltappers LokSound project supplied by DC-Kits. Irish CIE 181 class hauling passenger train with 'Power Drive' which seems to be a variation of ESU LokSound 'Full Throttle' feature. Loco is a Murphy Model 181 with a standard 40x20mm speaker, coaches are all RTR from IFM. The start of the clip demonstrates 'Drive Hold' which is toggled on and off repeatedly, and while on the throttle controls notching instead of speed. Allows driver to simulate heavy trains starting off as loco trashes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauliebanger Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Here's a short video clip featuring my Janus 'ProtoDrive SL' sound project. My 'SL' projects have SpeedLock which enables any road speed to be temporarilly fixed whilst the engine power sounds can be raised or lowered by use of the throttle. This is suplementary to all the other great manual control techniques I've already introduced into my ProtoDrive projects and ActiveDrive projects from Digitrains. This clip only really demonstrates the engine sounds and one of the horn options (of 4). I'll expand on this in other clips when I get the time. Kind regards.
