kada33 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 While searching for something else, I found these. First a photo of my garden railway at my previous house, them some of the Harz in 2010.

Horsetan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 ...I'm expecting shops to have it around £290 which is comparable to the Bemo 2-8-0 ten years ago .... If that's the RhB G4/5 you're referring to, I was stunned when I saw the original price tag on the box of one: £320!! And the thing is tiny! Still, shouldn't be surprised when a Weinert SBB shunting tractor retails for upwards of £350, and that comfortably fits into the palm of your hand with room to spare.

Chameleon Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Don't judge them on size. Look at any of the Bemo metal collection, most of the HOe Saxon locos are around the 650-750 euro mark and they are only Wee HOe locos! The unbuilt kits will cost around £250-300. Quality is never cheap. I remember looking at my demonstration workbench at Glasgow once and realised I had about £7000 worth of stock on display! Scary stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the G4/5 was the cheapest steam loco even at that price and they were going around £280 for a while I'm sure Tillig will put a dent in the sales of the others even at these prices as they are significantly cheaper than other options to model the Harz. They do run very well and the detail is superb. I've paid an average of about £25 a coach by waiting for offers which is much cheaper than Bemo. The two special edition coaches are the most expensive as adding the metal wheels and bearings pushes them towards £40 each. Cheaper than Hornby 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wonder if that might make a dent in sales of the Weinert kit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 25, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2016 I suppose it depends if those with money to burn prefer all metal, including bells & whistles, locos but as they were so expensive I rather think this will appeal to a different market. Additionally as they have been out so long I suspect they long ago made back the investment so if there is a dent it will be more of a ripple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Presumably they will be doing a sound fitted version? Wonder if it'll have the Harz clunk when it starts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2016 No sound ones announced so far but it's a very easy installation on the 0.6.0 so it should be just as easy, if not easier, with a bigger loco. I actually prefer the fit it yourself version on the 0.6.0 as the factory one used the cab glazing as the speaker box so you can't have a driver hanging out the window.

Chameleon Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I was wondering about that. I'd like to put sounds into a few more of my locos. Do Tillig do the sound chip loaded with the Harz 060 sounds as a stand alone part? It's a pretty good generic chuff and the whistle and bell fit very well with the narrow gauge locos.

Chameleon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Where are these files available from Paul? I presume they can be loaded using a lokprogrammer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Go to the download tab on the ESU home page and select sounds and you can filter each category by country and loco type and yes you'll need a lokprogrammer or just specify the file when ordering the decoder If you go to the files you can listen to a sample http://www.esu.eu/en/downloads/sounds/ Edited July 1, 2016 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Oo, I didn't know the sound files were freely available to download. A friend in my club has the programmer. I can feel a play coming on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just make sure you know if it's a v3.5 or v4 chip and select the right file for micro, standard or XL as it matters you'll see several codes for some files and if you hover over them it'll say which they are. You can download the lokprogrammer software and the files and then just borrow his unit to upload the file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Oo, that's handy to know. I didn't realise you could get the chips pre-loaded with library sound files. If they do do the 2-10-2s with sound, I hope they include the customary clonk when it's put into gear. It's loud and distinctive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 2, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2016 You can do it through any ESU agent in the uk too The 0.6.0's use the next18 version and I suspect there will be a 2-10-2 file shortly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scafellpike Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I have myself been struggling to obtain sound files for Narrow Gauge locomotives for use with ESU decoders. I have however used http://www.wheeltappersdccsounds.co.uk for specific narrow gauge locos that sounds were not available for commercially. They can also customise sound files to suit your needs eg. Put different whistles, airpumps on etc. If you contact them I'm sure they will be able to supply sounds to your needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Time for the next section of the Sud Harz, this will be the forest section and Brunnenbachs Muhle Junction. Here's a refresher of the overall plan and the rough of the forest section with a basic scene for the operators only to represent the Wurmberg Station and goods siding.
