After watching a clip from Newbryford of his awesome DRS class 20's I sent my two to Howes to be Re-blown, As you can hear it's pretty Awesome don't you think.

ive got one of these which i thought was excellent, must admit these sound better even via a pc, a more earthy sound. did you keep the same speaker in? how much does it cost, im tempted.....

[gronkstergronk]

When I did these clips the loco had bachmanns factory fitted speaker, I have now replaced it with DCC Supplies small speaker which costs between £5-£10 including postage.

The cost for having your ESU decoder Re-blown goto Howes web-site for current price.

I think that's the first sound chip I've heard that sounds like the real thing! Superb!

Thanks for the comment, Howes Models do a fine job in re-blowing ESU sound decoders and I highly recommend them for that service.

Is there a hint of radiator fan in there too can't belive it's just 17 qwid

these recording are from were the microphones have been placed, they can be modified to include the din of the track as it moves

Why do you idiots think DCC sound is so brilliant, diesel electric loco's accelerating from a stand don't sound anything like the above video. I like listening to the din of the wheels going over the rail joints, DCC it just pointless extra background noise. Poxy speakers anyway, why not just play a good selection of live diesel sound at full volume on a stereo so you can fully appreciate it. Fools and their money are easily parted.

ok thanks, just bought the bachmann e-z control and its super! only have 1 dcc train now, but will buy more in the future.

[mikeylight1805]

which bachmann controller? Dynamis does not support any analog (conventional DC) locomotives.

Bachmann E-Z Command can support 1 Analog loco on address 10.

[cokalightman]

i have a question, if i buy the bachmann dcc controller will i be able to control with this my other not dcc trains? if not do i have to install a dcc things into them?

Tell you what, I always thought that SWD decoders were much better sound than Howes, but the Howes 20s in your vid are much better than the Bachmann sound, which sounds crap, when opened up. Love the weathering too!

[blaster2012]

Oooh,that sounds sooo much better than the standard Bachmann setup.Exellent weathering by the way,i wish i could get mine to look like that!!
