One of the reasons I like the new bachmann Ivatt 2-6-0 is the ease of the sound chip install. I installed the chip last week and did this little clip
(sorry for poor camera work) last week at a church show. There were a few local railway men there who were very impressed with it, and I have to say so am I. Of the three steam sound chips I have, SWd GWR , Howes Spamcan and this, the Ivatt is easily the best. I will put it on a rolling road and do a demonstration of the full range of sounds later.
There are two Ivatt versions available, one with br whistles and one with lms whistles. It was loads of fun on my end - end layout (Wellfracombe) with steam sound, though testing / using them last night in the noisey club enviroment on a tailchaser I was not so convinced. You only heard the sound 4 ft either side of you. that may be enough for some, but when paying £85 for sound, i want to hear it!
More clips and details later today with luck.
