    Enjoy your programmer. My advice is always save the original sound file then as you make changes use the “save as” option, so that when you mess up you always have something to go back to quickly!

    I must admit I set up the sound decoder functions to suit my own preference as I found that there was a lot of sound options not used. So mine are simply as follows. F0 - Marker lights and light master switch F1 - Engine start up / shutdown F2 - Horn F3 - Drive Hold F4 - Main headlight (F0 must be on as well) F5 - Coupling sound effect F6 - Rear Lights (F0 must be on as well) F7- Coasting F8 - Cablights F9 - Guards Whistle F10 - Rail squeal I can’t be bothered with anything else.

    The 201’s are fitted with a Loksound Select. These decoders came in Canadian models that I purchased over the years and I just swapped them between the locos. They have all the functionality of any Loksound for lights etc but you can’t edit the sound files so no horn sound!

    The Murphy 121’s have got a 21pin arrangement and the standard Loksound V5 chip will fit. Paddy showed me this at Warley and Explained the fact that the internal circuit board had to be redesigned to accommodate this. The original board design was scrapped after the model was assembled it was found the chip wouldn’t fit within the body! This was one of the factors that has delayed the model. Paddy was very willing to share the challenges of getting the 121’s right and I enjoyed our 5 minute chat that lasted an hour!

    I know that a couple of days ago IRM Facebook had started to canvass for interest in buying these to see if a new run was viable.

    Baby 177 struggles into Ballyercall!
  14. NIRCLASS80
    Yeah it might be worth a try.

    Yes but I am pretty sure it’s the 16 cylinder one. I found that Using the file from the larger engine gave a better howl at full throttle!

    Its a free download sound file from ESU with a Irish horn style added. I just edited myself. The speaker is also upgraded from the standard one.

    For some reason it’s seen as a bit of a weird hobby by many in Ireland. Yet after moving to England I found work colleagues and friends far more interested and certainly no longer viewed as the train weirdo!

    Yes the Red Barns are nice and the Bowser model is lovely unit. Thanks for the comment

    Ok I can’t believe it’s so long since I posted anything! Well during our lockdown I decided to put sound in these two bad boys! Canadian railways are my second addiction!

    Personally I think IRM deserves credit for taking this approach at such an uncertain time. Once again they are taking all the financial risk in a rather unstable world. It takes massive confidence in the market to import pallets of wagons when people could be facing redundancy or reduced pensions. Congratulations to all for producing yet again what looks like a cracking model. Most importantly everyone stay safe. Health and family first, models second!

    Lovely video. He’s in a rush for a Saturday evening drink!

    PECO Code 75 bullhead, range of points is still very limited but to be increased this year Lovely track and certainly the sleeper spacing helps reduce the narrow gauge look
