The Modular Model Railway with DCC Sound! - Extended Running Session

[@mrolfe8341]

DCC sound makes all the difference to the enjoyment of a model railway

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

I have to admit it’s very satisfying to watch a train chuffing around the layout like this! Thanks for watching 😃

[@benstrainsandthings]

Its good to finaly see a propper running sessin on your layout!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Ben! Yeah it’s always nice to get the trains out and just run them. Hopefully I’ll do more of these once the layout is finished! Thanks for watching 😃

[@railfanpolska]

Big LIKE and have a great weekend 🖐️😊

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a great weekend too and thanks for watching 😃

[@adam_fordham]

Love the running session, having sound on the layout brings it more to life and gives it an atmosphere of a working railway 😀

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Adam, it certainly does add another level doesn’t it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@willbreckinridge8010]

Lookin' good, man! Congrats on 1 million views!😃

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Will, 1 Million views is such a crazy milestone! Just need to get the scenery finished around the station now - I have some big plans. Thanks for watching 😃

[@bennickss]

The class 47 is definitely the highlight here!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It's certainly an incredible model, especially with all the lights and sound! Thanks for watching 😃

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Great running session enjoyed all the sounds that went with it too, can’t wait to get to this stage 🙂

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, I definitely need to do more of these when I’ve got the station scenery finished! Thanks for watching 😃

[@LetsGo_41]

Nice running session. I like Souther loco and of course the Class 47!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Tim! Yeah the Schools class is a nice model and I thought you’d like the 47 😉Thanks for watching 👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it Martin, thanks for watching 😃

[@edoardofagiolo4178]

Lovely running session, so relaxing.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! It is nice to just sit back and watch the trains chuffing around. Thanks for watching 😃

[@davidcutts2650]

Great running session. Sound makes a big difference which I enjoy too on both my N & OO layouts. Congratulations on your subscription achievement too 🍾🥂👍👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it. It does make a huge difference. I never thought I would really get into DCC Sound but now that I have it's making me want to convert a few more locos! Thanks for watching 😃

[@charlieflockhart2203]

I love this video, it's so immersive, can't wait to see more of your content

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Charlie, yeah it does really draw you in. Hopefully there will more of these in the future. Thanks for watching 😃

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Smooth 😮

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Pretty smooth, although there’s a couple of bumps in the track to sort out 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

[@loispadgett6306]

That makes the start of my day complete. The sound was fantastic and engines looked GREAT what a nice running session. Have a great weekend. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

So glad to hear you enjoyed it Lois, it’s definitely nice to just let the engines run for a change. Hope you have a great weekend too and thanks for watching 😃

[@tonyleslie5795]

really enjoyed that

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it Tony! Thanks for watching 😃

[@williambabcoke248]

If you wanted to add another steam locomotive to the roster, you could try a Soundtraxx econami UK decoder. I put one in my B12 and it sounds excellent, and it isn't too expensive either.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes I’ve heard good things about the Soundtraxx UK decoders! I really must try one out sometime. Thanks for watching 😃

[@enderwarrior6792]

I really love that sound of the engines, it’s music to my ears (please release this on Spotify lol). It really makes me want to convert some of my stuff to dcc, great video; Really brightened my dreary West Midlands Saturday!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

I have to admit I used analogue for years and thought I always would. Then I slowly got into DCC and gradually sound locos too 😂 It does add another layer of atmosphere to a layout in my opinion and I definitely think I'll be adding more sound decoders to my locos in the future. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 👍

[@marcdempsey5850]

Lovely audio running session, which sound chips did you use for the school class? The j27 must have been tight inside to fit all the parts especially the speaker. They look and sound great, extra dimension to the model railway. Best Marc

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Hey Marc, the Schools class is a TTS chip for the A3 - not bad for such a cheap decoder. If you want more info on the J72 check out my video from last week where I fitted the sound and a stay alive too, it’s not as tight as you might think! Thanks for watching 😃

[@modelrailfan37]

Your making me so jealous that I went with a standard dc j72 that I just put a normal decoder in… Do you know if you can still get the sound decoder you used for yours? Also, on a note of things for adding to the layout, I think you should get a Bachmann or Hornby 08 since they are one of the more common sights on heritage railways, unless of course you don’t like the prototype in which case it might not be a good purchase. I have heard good things about both the Bachmann and Hornby ones. From what I gather the Bachmann runs slightly better for its purpose since it’s geared to run at really slow speed, and the Hornby is slightly better detailed. For me though, the big thing is the price since the Bachmann is over £40 cheaper. Great video by the way!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes the decoder is from YouChoos and they'll be more than happy to put a J72 project onto any sound decoder for you. I'd recommend adding a stay alive for the best results too - I've actually done a whole video on that and adding sound in the past: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHrQh2x4mJ6EaaM I'd definitely like to get an 08 at some point for the layout. I'm really trying to focus on finishing the layout rather than buying more locos at the moment though. Thanks for watching 😃

[@danostrains6839]

what controller do you use? DCC is a whole new thing to me. thank you very much

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Hi there, I use the Roco Z21. Quite an expensive piece of kit as far as DCC controllers go but it has all the bells and whistles to allow me to expand in the future. I must do a proper video on it in the future. Thanks for watching 😃

[@tico360]

Are you going to keep using the tension lock couplings, or are you going to change to kds?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

No plans to change to kadee couplings at the moment but I am lightly investigating close couplings for the coach rakes. I don't mind the tension locks too much but I have some plans to make them more discreet in the future so stay tuned. Thanks for watching 😃

[@anglingsteve]

Add a bit more realism with a driver and fireman on the steam locomotives

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It’s definitely on my list as soon as I get the station scenery finished! Thanks for watching 😃
