Class 26 with custom DCC sound (part 1 of 3)

The owner of 26007 at Barrow Hill did a splendid job of demonstrating the full repertoire of sounds his loco is capable of producing and the results are shown here. Many thanks Kozzy!

The model is standard Heljan with the 'Pete P' bogie modification. The weathering job is still a work in progress but so far I've put washes of faded rail blue and black dirt on the body and track colour on the underframe. The speaker is a DCC Supplies bass enhanced with the enclosure deepened to occupy all the available space between the fuel tank sides.

Yes, Heljan's model of 26028 with a faded rail blue paint job applied by me.

Many thanks for those kind words. The aim is mimic the real thing as closely as possible so seamless transitions are a must. I use Loksound chips exclusively. The one featured in the video is just the v3.5 version, my v4 version of the 26 chip is even better. All being well I'll post some new clips of this in the next few weeks.

Is this one of the Heljan models?

@legomanbiffo Looking forward to it.

Well done, your sounds are amazing, do you use Loksound chips or other? The files seem seamless, best sounds for a 26 i've heard.

Superb sound. I half expected a plume of exhaust when it started up. Loco looks stunning too - really nice weathering
