Small world, I grew up in King Street Rockdale. I see the N-Scale club is not far from there. I might see you there one day. Nice engine by the way. .

Only a few blocks away! You're more than welcome to have a look any Saturday, and we've also got an open day coming up on Saturday the 15th of April 9am-5pm. Thanks!

Great sound! I have the same locomotive and would love to be able to add that sound, but I’m new to DCC. How did you do it? ESU 58731 board but what speakers and where did you get the sound recording? These may be silly questions, but like I said, I’m new to DCC and could use all the help I can get. Thanks.

Hi Rich, I used a 15x11mm sugar cube speaker with an approx. total height of 9mm, maybe a bit higher, fits right at the back of the tender without any modification to the tender. The sound recording is from ESU, their LokSound 5 GS4 sound file 🙂

@@buckamboolmodeltrains Thank you very much. Did you have to somehow acquire the recordings of the sounds? I assume they did not come with the board or speaker.

@@RichRolph-ro7ep I downloaded the GS4 sound file from the ESU website, and using my LokProgrammer I loaded this to the 58731 decoder
