Did anyone else get any info on the hornby sound locos at Warley.
They had the 56 and duchess in operation, sadly no class 60.
SimonK said they are hornby's own sound and not done by howes as was the rumour? He said the 60 they recorded was very tired and has lots of character to it! Its due into shops this week?????
The 56 sounded nice but i only heard it at idle. seems thay have mounted the speaker under the exhaust ports.
They had the duches running and i thaught it was badly let down by the tender mounted speaker. Without seeing it, I would be surprised if it did have an enclosure as it sounded extremley "tinny." I thaught i sounded c r a p to be honest.
The recording seemed ok, but it definatley sounded a job for a Base reflex which for me, every steam (but not diesel) chip needs.
