HO Tower 55 T55 Norfolk Southern ES40DC Gevo Model Train NS

Finally got one of the ES40DC engines I had custom made by S. Dempey Customs. My camcorder doesn't do it justice. Sound is the T55 Gevo DCC/Sound decoder but with an MRC speaker in enclosure instead of in the tank. I haven't had a chance to turn it down, so sorry for any distortion. Started as an T55 unit and it went from there. Will post a multi ES40DC train when I get the rest.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't going to put too much effort in the Digitrax decoders as I am waiting for the Soundtraxx release for the Intermountain Gevos. Reminds me as I need to call them to see where they are on that. Thanks for the 4 stars as I have a ways to go on the units to get them closer to the prototypes.

Do you know if the guy used LEDs or did he just use the kind that came with the engine?

[leejax01]

I wired it and I used the stock bulbs.

Yeah haha. I sent my SD70M off to charleston digital trains yesterday...the next time you see it it will have DCC/sound/lights.

[leejax01]

Why did you send it off to them? I remember you doing a great job doing your own sound and lights. I plan on putting in a GN-1000 by Soundtraxx in mine and that is a pretty easy install.

Great T55 locos they look and sound great! 5*****

oh and do you know what the tower 55 website is i cant find it :C

@leejax01 Do you know when Intermountain will be releasing the GEVO sounds? I've been thinking about getting an Intermountain GEVO. Are they good? I've never purchased any Intermountain equipment.

Great try but this sounds nothing like Gevo loc. Digtrax is a very generic sound but if you find the file you can down load it to Digtrax from a file. I will give you four stars for effort.

Alright thanks!

[graysonator123]

I'm OK with plug and play stuff...but when it comes to hardwiring and LEDs I let someone else do it.

[leejax01]

Thanks. I still have to do a vid on the locos and get an HD cam to do them justice.
