richrua Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 having a laugh here tonight. I picked up an all in one digitrax decoder with speaker and capacitor for £20 online. (Apparently an older model with old speaker) . Any who, I whacked an 8 pin plug on the end and stuck it into my A Class. After a little while of an a class with a steam sound, the wonderful NCE powercab let me pick a pre installed American diesel sound track. You know, apart from the American horn, it s alright.

irishthump Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Would love to see a video if you get the chance, Rich! How many different engine sounds are on the decoder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richrua Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I ll stick one up later. There are a load of US steam sounds plus a set of sounds from an american EMD SD38 . By one of those nice co-incidences that loco has a similar engine to the converted A class . So it might nearly sound good. The horn is wrong though.

richrua Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sound not great on vid http://youtu.be/hGHFZBX7-VQ I should also be able to turn the speaker up in the cv. Still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 A bit of great craic alright, especially for the money. Was it my eyes, or in the video around 22secs when the horn was sounded twice the loco appeared to slow during the horn blast? It was almost as if the loud horn blast on speaker was sucking up current. Love your layout btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richrua Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 yes it seemed to drain the current on that occasion. previously it didnt but there must be a reason . . . more figuring out. it is maybe the speaker which has now been replaced in the newer version of the chip. At that money i didnt mind a little trial in DCC sound. They had three on for that price but i only got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
