I did start with a non sound version, they come with a speaker already fitted then you just add a next18 sound decoder. But knowing I would be pulling it all out made sense to go non sound 👍
They are prewired nano SMDs off eBay, orange best colour. They are wired to the decoder aux1 and aux2 with common + and resistor on the + side. The decoder has a random flicker effect. 👍
Ah cool I have some of the modelu figures I quite like the different poses you can get as adds a bit of variety from the same ones Peco used to make I didn't realise he did lamps too I'll have to go and have a look at his website
Hi John Does the bachmann sound fitted zimo decoder allow fire flicker? Fitted an out break board but nothing from the leds on aux1 or 2, also couldn't get anything from the front or rear pads either. I have a zimo stay alive unit for the mx648 chip wondering if this would work on the factory fitted chip due to no leds. Was able to fit gold caps directly to a factory fitted class 24 with no issues. Hope you can help me out here. Kind regards Dan
@@johnjmc Hi John Cheers thanks for the quick reply. That's good then especially with the stay alive. I was expecting the led just to light up solid via direction control without modification and thought there may be an issue with the decoder or factory settings won't allow it. I'll have a play around with it over the next few nights 😬😬🤣 Kind regards Dan
@@matthewsouthall3725 zimo mx659n18, zs048p is soundfile. I haven't found a way to add stay alive to the factory PCB or the next18. I ended up taking all that out and starting again, hardwiring a zimo mx649r into the model.
Hi John, I'm very impressed with your work. Any chance you could DCC sound fit one of the new Peco Englands for me?
Send it in to digitrains, we do the install of these there
Very good! Wouldn't it have been cheaper to start with the non-sound version?

Wow you are the Master of retro fitouts...stunning work and model..
I like that I like them before but the firebox light is cool
Where do the lamps come from did you make them?

Lamp are 3d printed, modelu then just put a SMD light in them.

@@kelvinstapleton7516 you have to add the bulbs and then you need to remove the silver backing from the lens

The factory fit won't include these output without function mapping the decoder. 648 will take a stay alive no problem

@loco82 cv430 to 29, 432 to 14 and 434 to 15 will sort directional lights
@loco82 what f keys are the fireboxes on ?
@@johnjmcHi John
Function 6 is the fire box sound.
Kind regards Dan
What firebox flicker do you use? And what stay-alive did you use too?
Lais DCC 870007, orange smd bulbs, pre wired from eBay
@@johnjmc great, thanks! What Next18 DCC decoder would you recommend using in this?

Are the crew figures from ModelU?
Hi Simon, yes they are
