    Thompson A2/2 and A2/3 projects to be launched in April. Not just a copy of an existing locomotive sound, but a new development based on the design and technical data of this class.

    try with PoM
  4. Locoman58
    ok so please set back to default value 0

    SORRY forgot to mention: there is CV 361 for power management in case of contact loss, please try if it helps with values anywhere between 1 and 14.

    Had the same problem with some (not all) Hornby Terriers. There it was the insufficient pressure of pickups against the wheels. Could also be caused by the blackening of the wheels (too thick). A small capacitor helped. The decoder can control the coreless motor very well. Saluti Alessandro

    D&H 8-pin decoder UPDATE: Decoders have arrived in the UK. Waiting for customs clearance.

    This is exactly what we found when examining the TTS sounds. Lots of 4-chuff sequences that are played one after the other while accelerating.

    Hello nothing easier than that. For steam sounds set CV 316 = 4 (mapping CV for whistle) CV 317 = 2 (mapping CV for brake valve sound), CV 390 = 2 (mapping CV for active brake). If braking is too hard set CV 391 to a higher value (20 or so). CV 391 replaces CV 4 when brake is active. When you buy from our website locomansounds.com you can always ask and we will swap F2 / F4 for you. Saluti Locoman

    Why do you need more than 8.36 seconds please?
  12. Locoman58
    Which chip will do so? What happens if a single speaker shorts?
  13. Locoman58
    In ESU terms this means: Program in this order: 1. CV31 = 16, 2. CV32 = 9 3. Then READ CV 372 4. Then CV372 = add 4 to the existing value and write No need to set F5 to momentary as the ESU brake is not over-sensitive.

    If you want to slow the locomotive down by simply pressing F5 without moving the throttle, you need to determine what speed it should slow down to. This is specified in CV 182. If you want it to come to a halt set CV 182 = 0. Saluti Locoman

    With a Lenz, never use addresses from 100 to 127. saluti locoman

    To carry out a complete reset, you must switch off the power supply for a few seconds immediately after writing value 8 to CV8 or lift the locomotive off the track. The value 8 is only saved temporarily. When reading out, the manufacturer's code will always appear.

    In the December issue #162 of Hornby Magazine Mike Wild shows how to install our Doehler & Haass 8-pin sound chip into a Hornby Britannia Class and add front light and firebox flicker. Also a TangBand speaker with HighBass has been installed. In addition, we recommend to add a single sugarcube speaker in parallel for a more brilliant and louder sound. Please watch the video of the model here.

    Andy, if you want to go into dcc sound we urgently recommend a system which is able to set all function keys to either momentary or latching. Most US makes are not able to do this. As sound projects get more and more sophisticated free f-key setting is mandatory for using all these fine functions. We recommend european systems e.g. Roco z(small)21. saluti Locoman

    Hi Andy, it is a Loksound 4 as printed on the board. Manufactured week 15 / 2015 as on the label. Saluti Locoman

    Yes I can confirm that, there is a checkbox for it that you can click when writing the data. Your own values are then the new default values.

    Our sound engineer modified our A3 project for his private use. Chuff takt is now let's say 2-3-1-3-4-6 (where 1 is the loudest) instead of the original A3 1-2-1-2-3-4 takt, injector is rattling loudly at start, rods are louder, very hard coach door slamming, no airpump. Maybe you're interested? Also possible for the A4. Except of chuff takt all sounds can be adjusted by CV.

    Technically spoken it is no problem to downgrade a V5 project to V4 as long as you can accept the background noise of the 8bit quality. But it has to be done manually and this takes a lot of time which just doesn't pay.

    Proud to announce that our Britannia project is now complete. Please visit our website locomansounds.com for further information.

    In the September issue #159 of Hornby Magazine Mike Wild shows how to install our Doehler & Haass 8-pin sound chip into a Hornby Q6 and add front light and firebox flicker. Please watch the video of the model here: https://youtu.be/AClZz5rYuLU
