N Gauge Discussion / Re: Should I go for sound?Last post by LASteve - Yesterday at 05:43:28 AMI like sound. Again, depends on what you're looking for. You're never going to get the bass tones of a CL44 hauling an oil train from Fawley, but I like the atmospheric stuff, the station announcements, rail squeal, horns. The EMU's are great with the guard sounds to the driver, on the newer models the sliding doors, all of that.
I've got motive power with factory sound, after-market from John Gymer's YouChoos and Legomanbiffo projects. Sometimes underwhelemed by Legomanbiffo (Recent Class 42 springs to mind) I've got a CL52 which was fitted by John Gymer as an exhibition model, and probably my favorite. I do chuckle sometimes at the "Fill in the Function" sounds. I'd never heard of (or heard) a Spirax Valve prior to my Legomanbiffo CL33 project. Now I know what one is, and I assume an approximation of what it sounds like, but there is a little element of "what's the point" on that one! My 2¢ #72

At least though it was easy to convert to DCC, and these days I guess you could fit one with sound #78

There were Minitrix British models before and after the period when Hornby was involved. Well I have a soft spot for Minitrix Warships have quite a lot... a trio of 27s,kits with the 27 chassis a repainted 47 and all the steam versions. Plus a pair of nicely restored Peco Jubilee's and quite a few Poole Farish. They suit my needs quite well! #80
