Two-chip Class 158 with custom DCC sound

Recorded at Eastcroft Depot Nottingham with the help of East Midlands Trains, great job folks. Afficianados will know there are two engine types; Perkins & Cummins. This is the Perkins version, the Cummins version will follow later in the year all being well.

A bit of an extravagance I know but I've put two chips in this 3-car unit, one in each end so that the horns and cab sounds etc come from the right place. As with other two-chip projects the sounds reverse appropriately when you change ends. I do a single-chip version as well. Send me a PM if you'd like these sounds in your 158.

I used the drive units from bass reflex speakers set into larger sealed enclosures in the underframe.

It's already done! Furthermore, my v3.5 version of the 170 has also been upgraded for the v4 chip and features a failed start amongst other good v4 features. The engines were recorded under load on the dyno at Tyseley. I also do a 150 & 153 but like the 170 I don't have the model yet so no video.

I'm glad you think so. It's a Loksound v3.5 chip with my own sounds. For speakers I used the drive units from DCC Supplies bass reflex speakers fitted into a a custom built enclosure formed by the underframe.

Which make of sound decoder and speakers are you using?

Most convincing sound implementation I've heard yet on a 158.
