Hi Dave,

Won't have dissappeared....

These are all done in batches and sometimes- due to lack of time (apparently), there are none on his shelf to sell!

The 805s must be due imminently, and the Lumo/TPE units? I can at least keep relevant with a 7-car one!

Sounds like a bit of laziness by Kato and only doing one TOC, I'd be astounded if you could reconfigure that, and it won't be a CV. Just don't use that function I'd say!

Nearly finished my 807 after about a dozen attempts! Surprised it's not melted the number of times it's been stripped!  :-[

It is the Zimo decoder and yes, the announcements are GWR related.

Kato provided a sound fitted version SKU during the first 9 car run...not sure if Kato factory installed it or they contracted it out. I purchased it when they first came out from a retailer in the UK, but am I am just now trying to troubleshoot it (life got in the way, you know, and frankly it's not that big of a deal).

That was my only thought too.
I doubt there's a CV, probably needs a different sound file loaded.

Can you confirm what decoder is fitted?  (read CV8) ?   Could it be an ESU LokSound?  Was there a factory fitted model, or have these been done by 3rd parties eg.  YouChoos , Hookstone Models, CR Signals?

 [edit] A google search has some mention of a "new batch" including DCC sound for GWR or LNER.  Google suggests ESU LokSound 5 was used.

How can you tell, what's the difference?

I know this is an older thread, but thought I would still post it here. I had previously acquired a first run factory sound equipped 9 car Azuma set, but the sounds seem to be set for GWR, not LNER. Is there a CV setting that exists to switch this? I am guessing it's the Zimo sound decoder and I can't find a CV mapping sheet for this particular installation.

Cheers.
