Hi Scott, I am not sure if dcc sound did the sound file for IDR, I had a decoder already that I going to use, in a steam era models derm I was building and mike let me transfer it to the IDR model. The sound file is a bit different as it has a short horn, station whistle etc. I think the biggest difference is the speaker,it makes a lot of difference, I had to turn it down ,to less than half and the sound is clearer. My other Derm, I will just fit the speaker. The lighting, it just looked odd ,with lighting up front ,but none in the carriage, I had everything already to do it, apart from the decoder which was $37. Thanks for your comment, I think you and me like similar things ,our TH-cam channels are very similar. Cheers John.
@@1johnmcwilliams yes our channels are very similar, keep it up i enjoy channels like ours, love seeing other people's layouts and models, especially filmed the way we do it. Here's a video I came across a while back that inspired me to start a channel, it's a small layout as well and the fella was ahead of his time with the videos lol I think the maker doesn't even log on to his channel anymore unfortunately. th-cam.com/video/5uJN-PqxWRI/w-d-xo.html
Nice video John. The new sound file and speakers definitely make a difference. I'm looking at getting one as well. - Nicholas.
Thanks Nicholas, I can recommend getting one. Cheers John
Nice work, the extra lighting makes all the difference.
I thought it was DCC Sounds that did the factory sound file they came with?
