Re: DCC Sound advice sought
Thanks, lot's of good advice. Agree, Zimo and YouChoos have always been my previous choices. George North Carolina I like the YouChoos/Zimo combo for steam sounds, but prefer ESU and various suppliers for diesel and electric sounds - legomanbiffo, Jamie Goodman and Howes being prominent in my colle...

Re: DCC Sound advice sought
I have posted a much longer video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/fBO-kAqYgPQ I forgot to mention I bought the decoder from Buckambool Models here in Australia, pre-loaded with the YouChoos sounds. I have forgotten now which speaker I put in: I did say it was a round topped speaker from YouChoos, ...

Re: DCC Sound advice sought
I won't claim what is most convincing as that would be very much a matter of personal taste and judgement, but I have used a Zimo decoder from YouChoos in my Bachmann London Transport 57XX pannier tank. My opinion is that I like it and it sounds good to me. Fitting it was fiddly because of the lack ...

Re: Scratch building a 4 CEP unit.
I agree with Bigmet. For all intents and purposes, the standard TK and CK coaches form the two centre coaches of a CEP unit. Underframe equipment may be simpler than the loco-hauled types. They'll also have the electrical connections on the coach ends, but when running on layout at normal viewing di...

Re: AJM Railways - anyone ever bought from them?
I buy from them occasionally. Only problem once was an item not in stock. Fast service and good postage out to here. Mind you I am in their target market, especially so given Hattons have gone. As always, YMMV. Regards Ditto here. I have used Amanda Jane over quite a few years: reasonable prices an...

Re: Souther Railway Non Passenger Coaching Stock
Same here - near enough sometimes just has to be good enough, unless you can make up your own transfers to a satisfactory standard. The HMRS Bulleid sheet has a few different sizes on it. I hope this doesn't breach their copyright by posting this. Note that I have mirrored this, because normally the...

The old PC transfer range continues under the HMRS banner, so they are, essentially, still available.

Re: All users Please Read *********************
They don't seem to take much notice after setting off their bot. I can bulk delete them as they appear in a list of inactive users, I mark the lot then unmark any that look like real names, then delete all, less than a minute. I should copy all the names to a list then disallow each of those names,...

Re: re-mapping
I use a LokProgrammer or Decoder Pro for ESU, although I know remapping can be done by programming various CV settings. Zimo likewise with Decoder Pro, but I have also remapped functions on a Zimo sound decoder simply by programming CVs. I do have a couple of printed guides downloaded from the Inter...

Re: Free Age of Steam Sound Effects
This could be a very interesting idea. I have only started dabbling with the ESU LokProgrammer software to create my own project by combining sounds from their free library of sounds. While my effort is nowhere near perfect, it does sound satisfactory enough for me to take my time with further devel...

Re: Making a pickup wagon for a Peckett W4 ?
I haven't tried to fit sound in a Peckett, but I did fit standard decoders (TCS M1 or M4) using the 4-pin interface. In doing so, I noted that the space for a decoder is fairly big, because Hornby's own decoders are not exactly small, but also, the 4-pin interface plug and socket are quite large. If...
