ColinB Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 As you have probably seen from my earlier posts I am upgrading my old 30 year HST. Having solved all the pickup issues by fitting late parts I thought I would add sound. I expected to get a pack with one sound module for the power car, and a normal dcc decoder for the dummy so I could control the lights. To my amazement it comes with two sound decoders, so good one Hornby, the TTS decoders are already good value for money, but this package was even better.

walkingthedog Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Does say TTS decoders or TTS twin pack on the blurb. Glad you are a happy customer. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainDriverJ Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Ah, but don’t you still have to buy a twin pack (when one will do) to add sound for the newly released railroad models that do not have any operations in the dummy car. Perhaps giving people the cheaper choice of one may have been more acceptable to some. A discount price for two could still have been applied.

walkingthedog Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Maybe you could put sound in two HST's with the twin pack. As the real HST has sound at each end surely the model should also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 That is exactly what I did, my model has sound at both ends. I needed a decoder in both ends anyway, as I fitted directional lighting. So even if I had not bought the twin pack, I would have needed one TTS module and one standard decoder which would have been roughly the same cost as the twin pack, which is why I was surprised it contained two TTS modules.

walkingthedog Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That's good. To me it would be obvious that each end had a dound decoder because the HST uses both power cars at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
