DCCSound files by VR model

Project files suit ESU LokSound® v3.5 decoders (N, HO & O scale). To protect our IP, we do not email out sound files. We can load the files to your LokSound® equipped locomotive or uninstalled LokSound® decoder. Customers can send in their decoders or locos (prefitted with decoder) to DCCSound (Melbourne, Australia or Texas, USA), who then update the decoder (we ensure the decoder functions as intended) and the items are then returned.

DCCSound only exchanges the LokSound sound files for our own sound files. We don't download, distribute or alter ESU's proprietary content. Loksound v3.5 decoders and most of sound files operate on DC too.

Due to continual development, DCCSound files are subject to change without notice.

Locomotive	Sound Project (suits N, HO & O scales)	Availability
	B class (B60-B85) - to suit Auscision & Lima Engine: 16-567BC EMD prime mover with start up and shut down, recorded from B74. Varied prime mover crank-over time for different start-up duration Airhorns: WABCo Type A & B two chime (short & long/looped) Dynamic braking sounds Sound files included for acceleration schudule to better simulate prototypical locomotive response DCC fitment: The LokSound micro or standard v3.5 decoders should fit. Space is limited in the Auscision B class. A 23mm or smaller speaker will fit in the fuel tank.	ML2v1.0
	S class (S300-S317) - to suit Trainorama & Lima Engine: 16-567C EMD prime mover with start up and shut down, recorded from S303 Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime & Leslie S5-T 5 chime Dynamic braking sounds DCC fitment: The Trainorama S class comes with twin 25mm, 8 ohm speakers. 100 ohm speakers will be required with the LokSound v3.5 decoder. Twin speakers should be wired in series to prevent the decoder amplifiers from burning out.	A16Cv1.2
	T class Series 1 (T320-T346) - to suit Austrains future release Engine: 8-567C EMD prime mover with start up and shut down, recorded from T320 Airhorns: WABCo 2 chime (short and long/looped) Sound files included for acceleration schedule to better simulate prototypical locomotive response DCC fitment: TBD. Austrains advises the upcoming model will have provision for a small oval speaker, similar to the Y class.	April 2010 G
	T class Series 2 & 3 (T347-T399) - to suit Austrains and Powerline Engine: 8-567CR EMD prime mover with start up and shut down, recorded from T356 Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime (short & long/looped) Sound files included for acceleration schedule to better simulate prototypical locomotive response DCC fitment: Austrains: A Loksound Micro v3.5 decoder with oval speaker will fit, with the speaker in the fuel tank. Light bulbs will need to be changed to LEDs. Powerline: A bass reflex speaker can be squeezed in above the long hood end bogie, though the chassis must be machined to accommodate the speaker.	G8Bv1.1
	X class (X31-36) - to suit Austrains Engine: 16-567C EMD prime mover with start up and shut down (S303 donor recordings) Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime (short & long looped) Sound files included for acceleration schedule to better simulate prototypical locomotive response DCC fitment: A LokSound v3.5 decoder and speaker can be accommodated in the long hood with some machining of the chassis.	G16Cv1.2
	Y class Series 2 (Y150-Y175) - to suit Austrains Engine: 6-645E EMD prime mover with start up and shut down, recording from Y164 Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime (short & long/looped) Sound files included for acceleration schedule to better simulate prototypical locomotive response DCC fitment: A Loksound Micro v3.5 is required. The standard oval speaker fits over a sound tunnel cast in the chassis.	G6Bv2.1
	W class - to suit Hollywood Foundry future release Engine: V12-149 Detroit Diesel with start up and shut down Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime (short & long/looped) Applicable to W class members reworked with DDED GM engine (241, 244, 245, 249, 250, 252, 255, 257, 259 & 262) DCC fitment: TBD and expected to be squeezy.	TBA
	DERM (RM55-64) - to suit SEM Engines: 2, 6-71 Detroit Diesels with start up and shut down, recording from RM55 Airhorns: RVB Hurricane 3 chime (short & long/looped) Sound files also include manual transitioning of tracton motors and guard's departure whistle Guard's whistle assigned to F4 on DCC cab DCC fitment: A LokSound v3.5 or Micro v3.5 decoder and speaker will fit in the guard's compartment. A bass reflex speaker is recommended as these deliver the best bass response currently.	DERMv1.2
	Walker 153HP (RM20-RM34) - to suit PSM, Weico Engine: Gardner 6L3 prime mover with start up and shutdown Airhorn: Wabco Type A single chime (short & long/looped) Sound files include gear change, air let-off & guard's whistle DCC fitment: Room exists in the guard's compartment	September 2010 Wal153
	Walker 280HP (RM80-91) - to suit future release Engines: Gardner 8LW prime movers with start up and shut down Airhorns: Wabco Type A & B two chime (short & long/looped) DCC fitment: TBD	TBA
	K & J class steam - to suit Eureka future release and SEM Use in conjunction with a LokSound 2-8-0 Consolidation project and alternate compressors Whistle: 5 chime (two different whistles, one short, one long), recordings of K153 DCC fitment: TBD	JK-5v1.0

What's included with our files

Many DCC sound decoders can be programmed with alternate sounds from the field. The majority of decoders offer either European or North American sounds, and somewhat fail to provide the nuances associated with the unique sounds of our Clyde-EMD sourced Victorian motive power. Sounds which can be substituted for the factory default sounds include (but are not limited to):

Prime mover start-up, idle and shutdown sequences
Prime mover notching up and down
Transient/dynamic sounds as the locomotive accelerates/decelerates or coasts
Air horns, couplers, air let off, dynamic brakes

The correct horn type and prime mover sound should be selected for each locomotive. The following is a general guide to Victorian broad-gauge motive power*:
