mjb1961 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 While having a wash this morning I had this mad idea,,ive pre ordered the Coronation train, club exclusive,i thought ,hornby could have fitted this loco with sound but not the typical train sounds but maybe the National Anthem,,'',g*d save our gracious king''grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 You're right, that is a mad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Why not - the FS sound profile plays Scotland the Brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 That is the maddest idea I have heard since the tale of a Hare in March going completely mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Not the sort of cunning plan you could put a tail on and call a weasel then?Colonel Bogey works fairly well as a diesel horn tune though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Man Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Why not - the FS sound profile plays Scotland the Brave. That is equally mad, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Why not - the FS sound profile plays Scotland the Brave.That is equally mad, Rob. Not so as it reflects the real 10 o’clock Scottie being piped out of Edinburgh each morning.Mad . . .I have a one off TTS blow in a Class 37 that has two tone horns to go with its flashing blue beacons and RAF Police livery.I also proposed that the Beatles vans should have a Vent Van TTS load to reflect the albums they represented.

Topcat2018 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 @96RAFWith apologies to the Scots, you know that the definition of a gentleman is a man who can play the bagpipes - but doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 If ever the forum needed a like button it’s is for Top Cat’s perfect description of a Gentleman 🤣 I realise Sir Nigel was a Scot, but dear old Flying Scotsman is a thoroughly Fine Yorkshire Lass 😁 I presume her impressive speed was to escape the noise?

81F Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Not so mad, the Rapido Titfield Thunderbolt sound fitted loco has dialogue from the film _ I wish I'd ordered it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony57 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 HiInstead of putting the sound files into a loco why not use the sound equipped vent van.That way a number of different sound files could be introduced in different colored vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new Vent Van derivative device (not necessarily a track vehicle) is under consideration so users can load various themed sound sets. No guarantee it will make it to production though.

Rallymatt Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I did think about a similar idea, but a station or yard series of sounds that a static decoder could be placed inside buildings etc and then controlled in the same way loco sounds are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpjallan Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Colonel Bogey works fairly well as a diesel horn tune though. I like the Colonel Bogey idea, not that I have many diesels. There's a good video on YouTube of the Royal Marines playing it marching through (from memory) Glasgow.I am, as we speak, doing some experiments with programming in Railmaster. I'm pretty sure you can play your own sounds through there somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Henny Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 ..............experiments with programming in Railmaster. I'm pretty sure you can play your own sounds through there somehow. Yes you can. I did it a long time ago and can't remember the exact process I used, but I do recall that the sounds need to be in the .WAV file format and copied IIRC into the 'sounds' folder.

threelink Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I am reminded of George V's famous comment "His Majesty does not know what the band has just played but it is never to be played again". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
