Bachmann Class 55 DCC Sound

This is a short video of the first running of Bachmann's Class 55 (55001 St Paddy) running on our layout.

We acquired this new locomotive a few weeks ago but did not like the sound that it produced so we sent it away to South West Digital to have a new speaker fitted, with a baffle - unlike the speaker fitted by Bachmann which had no baffle.

As to why Bachmann chose to do this it is very hard to say and, really, quite baffling!

A baffle or enclosure makes a big difference to the sound, as you can hopefully hear in this video. The speaker was fitted in the fuel tank and sounds quite impressive so is worth having done.

@thoscar02 and does the loco come with that sound installed?

Hi Starwarslegobuilder,

Yes, this loco certainly did come with the sound pre-installed by Bachmann. However, you can also fit sound to most modern locos now and many of the older ones too.

Hi Starwarslegobuilder, the Class 55 is made by Bachmann and, although this particular model is no longer available, Bachmann do still produce other Deltic models, in both blue and green liveries.

Hi jmsschooner,

No all digital decoders, including sound decoders, should work with the various dcc controllers, including Hornby and Bachmann.
