Title: DCC Sounds for a Royal Train
Post by: Snowwolflair on March 25, 2016, 06:26:46 PM
Bit of a light hearted  thought.

How about a sound chip for a Royal Train  :goggleeyes:

Apart from a class 66 what else would you include.

A trumpet fanfare
Corgi dogs
Philip making a suitably pithy comment  :censored:

I wonder what the Queen would say

Suggestions please.

I think as a subject matter you really could go to town on cameo's in sound as well as placing figures.  Camera flashes and sounds of the old motorised 35mm film cameras being wound on -shouts from the paparazzi and little LED strobe flashes.  You could take your pick from Phil the Greeks' many gaffes over the years, take your choice or invent something silly -it was probably said!  And you'd have to have a commentary from the Beebs' Royal Correspondent and an outside broadcasting van outside the station with a big satellite dish on top ...."And now, gracefully exiting the royal carriage, the train itself only 20mins behind time which is a remarkable feat.  Wait ........The Prince has just chosen to stop and speak to (read: insult) a member of the station staff.  We don't know what he said but it certainly seems to have had a mixed reception!."

...Maybe a bit of a cynical response but I've nothing against them really.  :)

"Tell the guard we are not amused"

"Tell Philip to leave that young filly alone"

And of course a fox hunting horn blast.

It's  class 67...

(Yes, they do sound very similar, on account of having the same engine, although the silencer is different).

Do you need the sound of ice chinking against the cut glass containing the G&T?

Or

"Stand back from the edge of Platform One Royalty approaching"...
