Henry makes a noise

Hi all - new to the forum and seeking advice

whats the best tts unit for Henry the Green Engine?

thanks

According to WIKI, Green Henry is a 4-6-0 loco and although fictional, more closely resembles a Class 5MT Black Five.

.

Now Hornby produce a RTR Class 5MT with TTS fitted, but the 5MT TTS decoder is not listed yet as a stand alone decoder purchase. It is logical to assume that Hornby might release a Class 5MT TTS decoder in the future if you want to be patient and wait.

.

If patience is not your strong suit, then you might consider the Hornby R8116 Class S15 TTS decoder which is also a 4-6-0 loco decoder. Who knows, maybe this is the decoder that Hornby are using for the 5MT TTS loco......possible!

.

The above is just my suggested opinion (based upon Google) as I am not a follower of the Thomas Range.

Castles and Halls? Are they 4-6-0s.

Yes

Of the TTS decoders currently selling on the Hornby website, Chrissaf's S15 TTS suggestion would be the closest choice. 

 

It represents a similar size 4-6-0 to Henry and is a two cylinder locomotives rather than the GWR Castle and King TTS decoders which represent four cylinder locomotives, though also 4-6-0 types, and would sound more noticable different.

Thanks all for the thoughts

As patience isn’t my strong suit im giving the S15 TTS a whirl 

 

cheers
