Bachmann 08 Sound Fitting Guide, Using ESU Hifi Sound And A Small Tablet Speaker

[@S92driver]

Nice video Richard, thanks for taking the time to put it together. It is great to see ESU serving the British modeller with more and more quality free sound files to download.

Nice video👍 I’ve recently fitted my 08 with components supplied by yourself, including a stay alive. Got to say it’s a tricky job, but we’ll worth it as the model is now one of my favourites on the layout. Love the sound it makes 👍👍👍

Great video Richard good helpful directions. 👍

Great informative video Richard, what about the stay alive fitment? Thanks for sharing.

@@roadsandrails Thank you Richard, hopefully one day you will do a video on fitting directional lighting on these great shunters.

@@StormmyStormmy it’s too big a job, I don’t take on that type of work at all any more, it would be too much to show on a video

Thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial while lying in bed. Tomorrow I will order the sound decoder. What about stay alive for the 08?

Thanks Richard,

Nice one Richard

Great video Richard watched it multiple times and even whilst I tried fitting the decoder..the body won't fit (even after milling out the bit you've mentioned) the sleeve round the decoder seems too big. Any advice as I can't close mine atm

[@roadsandrails]

I’m not sure, I’ve done several with that method now, can you trim the plastic round the decoder? You’d need to do it very carefully

[@chrisjubb-hearnborough]

@roadsandrails thanks Richard all sorted now

[@class66]

Will the bachy 08 take a txs decoder and stay alive?

[@roadsandrails]

Not easily I don't think, you'd have to put most of it in the cab and you'd see it
