I bought a MM 071 sound chip earlier today off Mr Graham and I've fitted it to loco 085,

First impression is that its a good sounding chip with lots of useful functions,

The engine sounds a lot like the refurbished engine that was fitted (and still is) to loco 076 and 112 as when the loco is idling its in a high rev,

One of the functions-F4 is used for shunting at slow speed but with a high engine rev-which I like,

Also when idling a compressor noise can be heard every so often which in my opinion is not quite right but i can live with it,

I would give it 9/10.

The ESU site MM 201 sounds, this time I hope I have got it right.

Here is a list of 201 functions

 

 

Key Function

F0 Light front light

F1 sound on/off

F2 high pitched airhorn

F3 low pitched airhorn

F4 high beam

F5 compressor

F6 acceleration/brake time, shunting mode/shunting speed

F7 curve squeal

F8 cab light

F9 fan

F10 conductor's signal

F11 coupler

F12 sand

F13 brake release / brake set

F14 short airhorn (high pitched)

F15 short airhorn (low pitched)

F16 open / close door

F17 rail clank

F18 valve

F19 diesel manual notching (up)

F20 diesel manual notching (down)

 

 

Below is the video with the sounds without the engine running.

F7 curve squeal, only works when loco is moving but I don't thinks it's very good anyway.

F13 not found what that does.

F17 rail clank ???

Every thing else is not bad except for F3 & F15 horns very poor.

 

Video below.

F1 sound on/off

F3 station announcement

F4 high beam

F5 compressor

F6 acceleration/brake time, shunting mode/shunting speed

F7 curve squeal

F8 cab light

F9 fan

F10 conductor's signal

F11 coupler

F13 brake release / brake set

F14 short airhorn (high pitched)

F15 open / close door

Again a lot better than the 201 sounds.

Would be interested to know if these are the same sounds as the MM 201 & 071 chips.

Thanks Wiggy for these videos. As far as I can see the chips delivered by PM are manufactured by ESU, someone had put some pictures to one of the threads here. Every ESU chip I ever saw and bought had that typical white badge showing the week of production and code of batch. If the sounds are the same as those from the ESU site I don't know, every word from me concerning that would be purely speculative.
