charliepetty Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Because St Andrews is south of Aberdeen, we are bringing along the the show in two weeks time the Kernow 4TC, a unit from the south. This will have sound and a push-Pull Mode with is Class 33. Charlie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Before anyone says 4TC's don't make any sound, here's some of the ones they do; SR horns SR whistle SR compressor Buffering up Buckeye coupling Motor Alternator set Playable brake application and dump Randomised Mk1 door slams Authentic Mk1 toilet flush(!) Flange squeal Despatch whistle Randomised right-away bell and optional buzzer reply Detonators My latest version of the 33 is already set up to operate with the 4TC without the need for a reblow. All 'directional' sounds such as horns, despatch whistle, right-away bell etc only come fron the appropriate end of the train and reverse automatically when the set reverses. Non-directional sounds such as brake applications and flange squeal come from loco and unit simultaneously. The unit's function key layout matches the 33 and my standard. The 33 can of course still operate independently with horns etc in both directions. Bif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the directional sounds work as you described when in a consist, but as normal when not using the consist address? Or have I misunderstood that a bit?

legomanbiffo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I've done it by F-key selectable 'modes' rather than consists. Both chips are set to the same address. To use the 33 (or 4TC) on its own, select F0 as normal. Lights and directional sounds then behave as normal (ie horns etc work in both directions). When used together, press F19 or F20 instead of F0, depending upon which end of the train the loco is marshalled. Horns etc then come from the 33 when it is leading or the 4TC if the 33 is propelling. Everything swaps round automatically when you change ends. The guard's whistle is the opposite way round and always comes from the rear of the train. Common sounds such as brake applications and flange squeal come from both chips. There are several different ways this could have been done but I felt this method would be easy to use and still allow the loco to be used on other trains without having to be reconfigured (or indeed reblown).
