For sound enthusiasts of the railways of Victoria, Australia...

DCCSound offers authentic sound projects, made in Australia, to suit ESU LokSound V4 decoders. 


Access to an ESU LokProgrammer is required. Simply read out the serial number from your decoder using the LokProgrammer and we can email the desired sound project for downloading to your model!


Alternatively you supply the decoder and we load the sounds. Visit the Sound projects page to see our ever expanding library of projects.

VR steam projects now updated to include Full Throttle features!

DCCSound's projects now include the same great features as our Full Throttle equipped diesel ones do, including:

Heavy Load: Simulate a grade or heavy train - at any road speed - simply by pressing F5. Disengage F5 and the chuff returns to normal.

Coast: Hit the coast key (F6), and the stack chuff drops to just rod clank or a whisper. Disengage F6 and apply throttle when a grade approaches! 

Active brake: Slow down your loco with the brake, not the throttle! Release the brake and the loco accelerates back to the set speed.

Scrolling headlight: This feature enables manual control of front and rear headlights without it being automatically directional, whilst only consuming one function key, F0.

New DERM recordings and sound project!

Built in 1930 at Victorian Railways' Newport workshops, 58 RM was one of a group of rail cars (later known as rail motors) to service the state's country lines. 88 years later, the rail motor is operated throughout the state by DERMPAV on charter services from Newport workshops. 


Don't forget to get yourself on one of their upcoming trips: www.dermpav.com.au


Our brand new DERM sound project will feature the following recordings of 58 RM taken in 2018. Every single DCCSound project is unique to the prototype recorded, something which isn't common practice. As control systems (engine, electrical, compressors, pneumatic valves including horns) are unique to each prototype, we end up writing sound flow code that is unique and specific to the prototype. 


Features:

  • RVB Hurricane 3 chime horns (unique DERM valve)
  • Twin DDED (GM) 6-71 diesel engines (Roots blown)
  • Series to parallel electric transition throttle control
  • Agile Sound Flow (ASF) - faster responding sound to DCC cab inputs
  • Latest Full Throttle features including Drive-hold and Active Brake
  • Passenger doors plus Guard's whistle
  • Rail clack/wheel squeal (speed sensitive)
  • Brake release and set
  • Brake squeal
  • Coupler slap and brake line disconnect
  • Headlight switch sound
  • GE air compressor (variable speed) with cut-in valves
  • Windscreen wiper (single speed)
  • Taildisc


High tech digital control for Old school tech! Sound project now available.
