slipstream

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.

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?

According to this http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/service_sheets/hss-221d-eurostar.pdf The wheels are meant to have them fitted as standard?

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.

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.

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.

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

Hi Charlie, are there any shows planned a bit closer to Portsmouth this year at all?

You read my mind, too, Tractor as I sent it off to Biff this afternoon. He will get it tomorrow. Can't wait. And thank you SR man. That's exactly what I did and what a difference it makes. So good actually that the sound now demands a re-blow.

Well I completed the task this morning as per Biff's instructions and Wow, what a bloody difference it makes. Much louder and clearer than before. Thanks for everyone's input on this thread.

Will do Biff. Thanks.

Is it this one? Do I need both or just the chamber? http://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/shop/dcc_digital_loco_sounds/esu_decoder_testers_programmers_dcc_systems_high_quality_minature_speakers/new_v4_compatable_esu50334pc_20mm_x_40mm_x_9mm_4_ohm_1_2w_with_low_profile_plastic_sound_chamber_suits_most_bachmann_21pin_fitted_models_.php
