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.

Class 37's double heading thrash and turbo whine. http://youtu.be/NUki6gAE49A

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
-
Thanks Charlie. Can these chambers be purchased?
-
Understood Tractor, thanks. Thanks Lego, I will try that fix tomorrow and hopefully that may be all that is required to bring it up to a reasonable volume and sound quality.
-
Thank you very much Pheaton, you must of read my mind. That was my next question. So, I presume, as per your diagram, 2 X 8 Ohm speakers = 4 Ohms?
-
Many thanks tractor. Funny as the instructions told me I had a 3.5 fitted and obviously all of the wrong CV settings. Could a bass-reflex speaker be fitted into the tanks to compliment the existing factory one?
-
Ok managed to shrink image to < 1MB. Can I confirm the blu tack goes onto the back of the speaker housing or onto the chassis? Thanks.
-
Not interested in the above, seen it already. I just require the blu-tak quick fix. To be honest the sound is almost there, so I would just like to get a little bit more volume out if possible.
-
On the chassis there are stacks of wires running over the recess. Is this where the blu tak goes?
-
Ok where on earth does the blu tac go? Lol Ok cannot upload image cos its larger than 1mb.
-
Many thanks. I have this running in consist next to one of your's Bif and its certainly not as loud. I will give this a go.
-
Is there a tutorial available anywhere for the blu-tac mod, or is it self explanatory to any normal person, lol? Also, does a 3.5 LokSound allow CV values of 255? I'm not sure which one I have fitted?
