Hornby Eurostar fitted with two DCC sound chips (part 1 of 3)

[legomanbiffo]

I record most of them myself but there are a small group of us who share recordings. The Eurostar came from my own recordings, the product of two trips to Temple Mills. Eurostar were particularly helpful in that respect.

[graystrainspotter]

do you record all the sound yourself.

[legomanbiffo]

Not standard, I fitted them myself. I'm led to believe that the roof-mounted one is only lit whilst in the tunnel.

Hi are the directional lights standard or did you also get those fitted? Thanks

[legomanbiffo]

The portals are brass kits made by N Brass Locomotives. I don't have a fiddle yard so I have to put trains on and off on the scenic section. Overhead wires would make this much more difficult. Not ideal I know but...

Where are you based as I have an EWS class 56 I would like to get DCC and sound chips as it is only DC but I could pay extra for the DCC chip. How much would it cost?

[istich123]

Did you buy those overhead cables or did you make those yourself, and why isn't there any wire connecting them?

I love it!!! But where have you bought all these coaches? I have never found it!

[legomanbiffo]

@romainloveusa The main part of the train is a standard Hornby Eurostar 6-vehicle train pack. I then bought the two-vehicle add-on coaches and converted them to the Cafe Bar and Train Manager's Saloon using the Hurst Models conversion kit. hornby.com hurstmodels.co.uk

@legomanbiffo thanks for the advice

[romainloveusa]

@legomanbiffo I don't find the products on Hurst models. Can you give me the page where is it?

Thanks

[legomanbiffo]

@romainloveusa From their homepage select 4mm, then 4mm again, then Units then Channel Tunnel Train conversion & detailing kits.
