What's the script
After hearing PeterMacs 08 I am considering fitting out at least one of mine with the same. What's the process if you want one of you own loco's fitted out with it ?I may also be looking to fit out a Bachmann class 37 as well. Where can I hear it .
Any info would be handy.
Cheers

As far as sounds go it has to be either Zimo Digidrive or Protodrive both by Paul Chetter in my opinion.

Thanks for the product endorsement. I am slowly making progress on checking these out. I intend to have a couple done. The 08 being the first and then possibly a class 25 as well to begin with.
I don't think I would have too many purely from a financial point of view. There again you never know. I could become an addict if they are that good

The 08 sounds really good. I am no expert on how it should sound but in general I think it sounds realistic.
I like the way some of the DCC sound offerings go through the start up sequences. Amazing really.
I'll have a couple that's for sure.
Cheers

It all looks good though and I'm gonna have one. Probably closely followed by a class 25 or 33. To be decided yet.
Thanks for the link. It's good to be able to play it over a few times.

Hi All Is that the Bachmann 32-106z Class 08 Diesel Shunter "Terri" No 08 691?? Kernow supplied me with one and fitted a Lenz Silver Direct Decoder for me. But they said that the Shunter was too small for a sound decoder, which was the only reason for me to buy one. Kevin
What do they know? Lol.
The Horby Class 08 will accept either a ZIMO MX644D (21 pin) or a ZIMO MX645 (Wired). Both are full sized 00 sound decoders. Plus either one or a pair of ZIMO Cube speakers. PLUS a Supercap stay-alive capacitor. And stillplenty of room for the driver and second man/shunter as the wonderfully detailed cab interior remains untouched.
There is a bit less room in the Bachmann 08 (and it's not such a good model as the Hornby in my opinion) so I was only able to get one speaker, an MX648 sound decoder and a normal electrolytic capacitor in the engine room. Space in the cab (cause there's nowt of interest modelled in there) for a second speaker if needs be, or another capacitor instead.
If you want sound in your 08, contact: soundsloco@btinternet.com
Or read next issue (95) of Hornby Magazine for a step by step installation guide for both versions. The brand new sound project in Peter's model is only available from me direct at the moment. (And only going to good homes, ha ha).
Kind regards,
Paul

And great it is too - the project I mean, not the "good home" …………..;-)
Compared with some, I don't have many sound locos - yet - but, of those I do have, Paul's projects are head and shoulders above the others. Ususal disclaimer - no "personal" connection other than as an extremely happy customer. :thumbs

It uses a ZIMO decoder which is plyable and can be bent to fit into all sorts of impossible places. (Not really, I'm just kidding).
Hope you enjoy it despite my nearly falling over in the middle of the shoot.Lol.
It's a bit shaky inparts, but the sound has turned out OK which is the main point I suppose.
