Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience with these decoders?

Are the sounds any good for British Steam engines?

At about £36 from the States they aren't a lot dearer than a Lenz Gold.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards, Eddie.

I put one in a West Country about a year ago. Instructions are difficult to
say the least..
Sounds not bad, wheel slip is cool, unless you accidentally press the wrong
F key and get the crap American bell sound.
However I never use it these days except to show off cos:
1 loco with sound and 20 without is wrong.
Its a GWR tank sound although you can tweak it some and last of all...
It gets on me tits!

Thanks Rob,

Bought one anyway just to see what it's like. I only have 3 Locos at the
moment (does not include my grandson's "Thomas" locos) and one of them is a
Class 08 shunter. All these are already chipped so will have to find a
suitably large new loco to put it in.

If I like it (although like you, I think it may soon get wearing) I can
always buy another couple for my other 2 engines, although I don't think
they will physically fit.

Regards, Eddie
