Paul, A big thanks for taking the time to document how to use this feature. I have implemented it on one of my sound fitted Farish N gauge class 66,(Zimo MX648) so I can control the white and red lights independently. (as per your explanation) The alternative as you know was to remap a couple of the sound features to ‘free’ up some of the lower number function buttons, this is a lot easier. I do have one question, which I am not sure if it’s due to the way I have configured it, or the way Swiss mapping works. I am using F21 to control the white lights and F22 to control the red lights. If I place the loco on the track and turn the lights on, it functions correctly. If I now remove the loco, without turning of either F21 or F22 and then replace it, neither sets of lights will come on (both F21 and F22 are still switched on at this stage). If I then toggle (off / on) either F21 or F22, then both sets of lights work correctly. Have I missed a configuration, or is this correct. Regards, Gordon D

Phil. Very good, I will have to think about adding sound to my 'super' Voyager before the next show at Folkstone in October. Gordon

Just hope I can remember how to operate it after such a long time. A refresher course may be needed. See you Saturday. Gordon D

Good to see yet another successfully show. Nice pictures, but would look a bit better with a 10 car Voyager, and maybe a sound class 66. Greetings from Doha, Gordon D

Ian, There should have been some ploughs supplied with the unit, in a accessory bag. http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/service/gf_assmbly.php if you 'click on the 150 service sheet you will see it talks about the ploughs. Or was that a 'returned' / second hand one you got? If so might be worth asking Bachmann / Fraish to see if they can supply them as spares. BR, Gordon

Graham, After having a good look over one of Ian's class 70's on Saturday I think it can be done with out to much trouble, just need to obtain one, sound chip etc. BR, Gordon

Only a 'normal' decoder Ian, go on you know you want to put sound into it. Gordon

Ian, Good video Given it was my first Sound conversion, I am very pleased on how it worked out, can see this getting a bit expensive Might see if I can convert a class 60 in time for DEMU.

Ian, My class 66 with sound is almost finished. Chip and speaker installed and running, Just need to rewire the lights. BR, Gordon

Ian, Looks like both conversions worked out well. BR Gordon D

Ian, Looks good, will have to have a closer look at RAILEX. Gordon

Ian, Which version of the Tomix couplings that fit into the rapido box did you use, the Scharfenberg 0381 or Knuckle 0391. Thanks, Gordon

Oh I think that will be the case. Just have to sort out the lights in the dummy unit, for Railex. Gordon D

Ian, Just like to say a big thanks for allowing me to operate Banbury at RISEX yesterday, really enjoyed myself. Thanks Gordon D

MrSimon, Good to meet you. Looks like you found the 158 then Gordon D
