I forgot to mention that the 141s will need a speaker fitted and this can be a problem as there is very little room in the 141 hood and will need some alterations to get the speaker to fit. DCC supplies have bass enhanced speakers that will do the job. If you need any help on this,ask George in Marks in Cork. Quote
roryon Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks Enniscorthyman Does the 071 chip work with the 201 or are they loco specific? Do you know when Wexford Model Railway Club are having their annual show again?

Do you know when Wexford Model Railway Club are having their annual show again? Cheers The 071 and 201 are loco specific,mainly because of the lights, and there is a good difference between each loco as the recordings are from real 201 and 071 locos.if you check out YouTube under-Irish loco with sound,you can see my own and Gerry Byrnes Locos. As far as I know the Wexford show will be on this Easter. If you are ever in Wexford,you are welcome to give me a shout if you want a demo of any of these locos with sound. Eamonn Quote
irishthump Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I have 3 of the 141/181 sound chips from the Model Shop Belfast and they are top notch. They also sell a speaker which can be used without having to do any major surgery to the inside of the loco. You just need to solder the two speaker wires to the contacts on the circuit board in the loco and plug in the chip. Quote
