55 001 St Paddy is captured restarting her train from an unscheduled stop. The loco is fitted with the much-awaited Bachmann sound decoder. It was disappointing out of the box, but it is amazing what a Bass reflex speaker in the fuel tank will do for the sound!

  • WTF ? no guards van....

  • Erm, the guard can choose from the second, fifth or tenth coaches, all of which contain accommodation just for him.

  • I Am Thinking Of Buying One.

    What Made You Disapointed About It?

  • The sound was puny and distant, with insufficient bass roar. It was all there but needed to be beefed up. Fitting a big bass reflex speaker in the fuel tank is a satisfying and worthwhile project which took me about half a day, during which time I also lightly weathered the loco.

  • cool video, was it difficult to fit a bass reflex speaker? as I am looking to have a go at fitting one myself.

  • It is not a tricky job, but it is fiddly. The speaker fits in the fuel tank, which requires the bogies to be removed and the loco to be dismantled.  The fuel tank weight must be removed and the speaker fitted in a hole large enough to accommodate it flush with the bottom of the loco (as opposed to sitting on top of the bottom of the fuel tank - otherwise it fouls the motor). You will therefore need to exercise some care when cutting the hole as it will require support. Good luck!
