Had my ice 3 done, fantastic just got to wait for better sound file

[@PeachyTT120]

Not long now Dave. Should be available in April

[@davefabo]

I have exactly the same PIKO ICE 3, it runs great in DC mode. So interested in what you have done. Might try it myself. Thanks so much for this video.

[@PeachyTT120]

If you wanna have a chat about me doing it for you, my email is [e-mail]

[@derekshipley-o4k]

Great Chris. looking forward to chatting to you about this. Meanwhile, did your research discover what order the coaches are connected in on the 8 car half train? I did find a 4 car set up similar to the PIKO model 'on line' that was used in Denmark for a number of years, but it is DMU and now kept in storage i believe.

[@PeachyTT120]

@derekshipley-o4k I run the following; 1st Driver car 1st Pantograph 1st Bistro 3x 2nd coach 2nd Pantograph 2nd Driver car

[@East_Mallingford_Railway]

Going to have to save up now and get you to install 8 pin and sugar cube … good to see Osborns Model are good ordered people from them in Jul still not arrived fingers crossed soon

[@PeachyTT120]

It would be my pleasure, message me when you’re ready. Ps when you order a decoder, I’d highly recommend adding HORNBY’S powerbank (see affiliate links in the more… tab) as the motor carriage doesn’t have its own pick-ups and relies on a good connection between carriage couplings. I won’t charge any difference with or without and they’re pretty cheap and personally I think an absolute must for keeping that all important wi-fi connectivity that’s needed for Bluetooth app control.

[@airshowvision]

I bought one of these many months ago with 4 spare carriages, and now have the blue stripe one imminent (UPS keep delaying!!!) Runs incredibly fast on DC with no reliability issues whatsoever. Someone needs to bring out the ICE3 union jack decal to spice up the livery.

[@PeachyTT120]

Absolutely. 🇬🇧

[@triangttvstilligtt1184]

Super model had one for years don't half go ,I have been trying to convince Piko to do a eurostar version but even they aren't doing as much TT as they used to and I think production has switched to China too.hopefully they might have a change off mind.great vid

[@PeachyTT120]

Keep the up the pressure! 😀

[@stormbowman7148]

Great video! I have been looking for a review of this. Btw. it is pronounced I.C.E, it stands for "Inter City Express".

[@PeachyTT120]

Cheers, I was wondering if that’s how it’s pronounced. Have you managed to find one? Or are you having to pre-order?

[@ThisWayWorksTWW]

Good to see it can be converted 👍 your such a tease! 🤣, interior lighting next then?

[@PeachyTT120]

Oh definitely. But then will the dinning car look odd? As obviously it’s full

[@ThisWayWorksTWW]

@@PeachyTT120 yeah good point with the dining car, carve some more chassis out for the light to propergate? So much easier to say it lol

[@airshowvision]

Dremel is good!@@ThisWayWorksTWW

[@stephenbromley2302]

What sound profile did you install in this loco

[@PeachyTT120]

For now, the only Electric/Diesel that Hornby have, the 73. But by the new year there should be a couple of electric fast passengers like the APT available

[@johndunford6082]

Oh did you use the 00 HM7000sound? Been wondering how a 00 sound project would work in a TT120 loco.

[@PeachyTT120]

@@johndunford6082 tbh I’m not sure that there’s much of a difference. I’ve tried both the 00 & TT A1/A3 back to back and personally couldn’t differentiate between the two.

[@nickdyer138]

shame you did not show how to add the decoder

[@PeachyTT120]

Hello nick, if you’d like me to do for you, you can email me on [e-mail]

[@pedrosoze3403]

Yer agree it’s a real shame! Think he is just in to make money and is not sharing the information shows that, it’s because not for fans, it’s becoming a business channel, not a true enthusiast channel, I will be unsubscribe. He is showing more and more it just about make money for himself not about the hobby. He started so strong but has lost its way.

[@nickdyer138]

He is a true enthusiast! He has some very good videos.

[@pedrosoze3403]

It’s becoming more about promoting other companies and his service, that I am sure he is getting kick back from! He would get more followers if he showed how to video like when he started, that all I am trying to say.

[@nickdyer138]

He is just showing all of us what’s out there and what possible, I appreciate the information and his videos.

[@PeggyDez]

Now all you need to do is repaint it into the Eurostar e320 livery

[@PeachyTT120]

May well do just that if I can sort the decals

[@PeggyDez]

@@PeachyTT120 hope to see that soon. Cheers Jeremiah

[@daveblake9804]

Hiya, how much is the train, the sound what is it?

[@PeachyTT120]

Hello Dave. I think Osbourne do the best price (see link below in the more… tab) I think you’ll probably need to to pre-order it and they’ll deal with getting it from Piko I guess (maybe via GaugeMaster?) You can have any sound file that you like from Hornby’s current HM7000 range, but you’ll have to wait till the new year before you can install the an all electric profile. I’m currently using the class 73 as although it’s a diesel electric, at least you get the electric sound at speed. As for a price for doing the installation, please message me via my Facebook page.

[@johndunford6082]

It is pronounced pIko not pEko, the Americans always get it wrong. You pronounce the I as an I. It does save a lot of confusion with products to get it correct. Sorry to have been pedantic, as always we do not know what we do not know. Superb job and hope to see it running somewhere at a show. Sounds very nice, having seen and travelled on them it is nice to know tyat the 73 is not a million miles off, perhaps a bit lower sound.

[@PeachyTT120]

Hello John, I’m certainly hoping a more realistic sound file gets created by Hornby soon, or failing that maybe allow people to upload their own sound files. The sound you here in this video has been taken from a train simulator and is supposed be taken directly from an ICE, of course I’ve got no real way of matching the speed with someone else’s recording, I just added it because anything else currently available sound so wrong. Hopefully that will change in the new year when the next batch of HM7000 sound files are due to be released. Ps thanks for watching & commenting
