N Gauge Graham Farish Class 47 DCC Sound and Extra Lights

Graham Farish Class 47 with sound added. I have added a loksound micro which has 4 functions to control the lighting. I hand painted the drivers and cab just to give it that extra touch. I am very pleased with the sound.

Bet this isnt plug and play? as ive been told, farish are a pig to do and most dcc fitters wont touch them, Because of the work involved. Pity, as i would love my farish diesels, sound chipped, but, too expensive AT £400 to £600 .

@BROADTRAIN1979 Plug and play...it is now but with massive mods. You are right most train shops wont touch it its tricky and one slip bye bye loco. 400-600 GBP I consider very fair, nobody does it and for good reason. Thanks for the interest. You might get a bargain who knows. Best of luck.

It's pretty impressive!! What modifications do you need to make inside the body or to the chassis! How much would you charge to do one?

[Irish982]

@Davec46026 Thank you for the interest. Depending on the loco generally a complete strip and major mods to the chassis. What is removed has to be replaced so I use lead and carbon fibre to reinforce areas that have all the metal removed. In some cases the chassis has got to be completely split again so you have 4 parts. Sometimes it doesnt work out or you make a slip and its back to the drawing board. Prices generally from about 450GBP + Hope that helps

I Don't know how you are you going to get a speaker in 47 612 Titan as this one has A split fuel tank which is the one which was refurbished in the 1980s when BR removed the water tank cat no372-241

@BRU11ROAD I had a look at Titan easy answer for you I wouldnt touch it. I couldn't build it to my standards and use the speakers I want, shes a no go.

Hello. I am about to buy a hornby thompson L1 in LNER livery, and i have a couple of questions. Firstly are you part of a company or are these all your models that youve done yourself? Secondly where approx. do you live? Finally, if i sent you the dcc ready L1, would you be able to add a dcc decoder, sound chip (and speaker if necessary) and front and rear lamps and what would it cost altoghter. The reason i asked where you live is because im from newport, south wales and wanted to know how far

@howarth004 Cheers glad you enjoyed it. It was tricky especially getting the speaker in without being able to see it.
