I bought this Hornby class 31 second-hand from Ellis Clark (Clark Railworks website), in perfect condition, and decided to fit an ESU LokSound 5 DCC decoder and 25mm square 4 ohm speaker from Roads and Rails, which all just fitted beneath the PCB in the locomotive, with a couple of very minor adjustments to the plastic mounting boards for the PCB. I retained the rubber band driven radiator fan,...

This superbly weathered class 33 of Peter Mantle's had lost some of its settings and wasn't behaving properly in relation to the sounds, so I have restored settings from a similar class 33 I have, also with an ESU LokSound v4 with legomanbiffo sound project on board, although D6520 was a little different. Mine had a few modifications to the function mapping, and I did the same to Peter's 33 010...

My first video of the Accurascale class 31, showing just a few of the sounds. Note that I have remapped some of the functions to bring them into line with other diesel models on my layout: F8 is Drive Hold on mine, but from the factory that is on F7. I intend to reduce the severity of the braking next time I am using the LokProgrammer.

Hatton's Freightliner 66 504 Short Thrash Around Newton Broadway

This is the brand new HO scale model from McK of Danish State Railways (DSB) IR4 EMU (also classified ER). The model comes with an ESU LokPilot pre-fitted (I didn't opt for the sound version).

I needed to give 37 026 a run after fitting a new motor (supplied under warranty by Accurascale). After running on the rolling road, I put 37 026 into revenue service on a Speedlink service. This locomotive has legomanbiffo sound. While I had things running, I also gave 37 608 in Europhoenix livery a run, having just fitted one of their new 8 ohm Accurathrash speakers. This locomotive has ESU's...

Descriptions mostly in the video: this version is the sound-fitted, as preserved to 2020 version Rapido UK are offering. I have not attempted to show all of the functions available, as all are the same as supplied but I have simply remapped them. F0 to F4 remain as per original, but the rest have been shuffled around.

My friend, Doug, had renamed and renumbered this Hornby A4 locomotive and needed a new ESU LokPilot decoder to be tested before fitting it. This was all successful so we spent an hour or more running her around on the front of an existing rake of coaches on Newton Broadway. The name plates were from Fox Transfers.

Video taken on our visit on 27th August 2022. We were only in Sønderborg for just a few days, catching up with family.

Some brief video clips of a Czech Railways / České dráhy (ČD) train, and my representation in model form of these trains that my wife and I rode on from Hamburg to Berlin and return. The model formation isn't 100�curate, but close enough to bring back memories. The real locomotive was 193 695-4, while the model is a Piko Expert model of ČD's Vectron 193 698-8 , and the coaches are a mixture of ...

Descriptions in the video. Note that I have not demonstrated all of the available functions.

Trying out the coaching rake with mostly Accurascale Mark 2B coaches and three Bachmann Mark 2As. The Accurascale coaches come pre-fitted with lights, so I decoded to fit lights into the Bachmann models, using Train Tech battery-operated motion-detecting kits for two TSO coaches and a Digikeijs wired strip in a BFK. I believe the Digikeijs one can have its brightness adjusted, but I haven't sus...

I haven't shown all of the sound functions available on the legomanbiffo sound project. For anyone wondering why, I have two main reasons for remapping some functions: 1. Bringing them into line with other locomotives and units on my layout to make it easier on my memory (F2 braking, F3 horn/whistle, F7 compressor, F10 guard's whistle, F11 flange squeal, and F21 cab lighting are examples of thi...
