DCC Sound Fitting

We can now supply and fit DCC DCC Sound chips to Tower Brass, San Cheng Brass, Finescale Brass, Bachmann Brassworks and Ixion Hudswell Clarke locomotives.

We are using three types of chips.

In smaller tank locomotives from the brass ranges we supply and fit ESU Lok Sound v5.0 DCC sound chips complete with a 20mm speaker.

For larger tender locomotives and Heljan diesels we supply and fit the ESU Loksound XL v5.0 DCC sound chip with a suitable large speaker.

The costs for supplying and fitting the micro chip is £175.00 to fit the ESU Loksound sound chip into any of the Tower Brass / Finescale Brass or Bachmann Brassworks tank engines and for the larger steam locomotives and Heljan diesels the cost is £330.00. This service can usually be completed in approximately two weeks.

We are only offering this service to 'O' gauge customers and will not fit chips into kit built locomotives

DCC Sound Fitting Heljan Diesels & Large Steam locos

Following the success of our service to fit DCC and sound to the Ixion Hudswell Clarke locomotives we are now extending this service to any of the Heljan range of diesels. and steam locomotives

We supply and fit the Loksound ESU XL v5.0 sound chip with appropriate sound for the locomotive.. Normally we also use a 40mm speaker though this is down to space restrictions inside the locos.

This service costs £330.00 per locomotive and is payable upon ordering.With the latest generation of Heljan locomotive which are coming "DCC ready" the charge is £280.00 as we do not have to hard wire in the chip that we had to do on older Heljan locomotives.The fitting service should not normally take more than a month. If this service is used in conjunction with our painting service then normally the fitting is carried out once the painting has been completed.

Just let us know at the time of ordering and we can sort everything out at this end when ordering any locomotives. We can offer this service on new locomotives as they are ready for despatch or retrospectively on locomotives already supplied, though in this case there is a postage delivery charge.

In the case of the Ixion locos we are trying to keep a supply of all three liveries of the Hudswell Clarkes locomotives fitted with sound units in our own workshops available off the shelf. The additional cost of supplying and fitting the DCC sound system is £175.00. The sound system only works on DCC and is not suitable for analog.

Booster

DCC Controllers

Given we are now sound equipping more and more locomotives it seemed only right to begin offering the DCC controllers suitable for this.

The E-Z Command Digital Control Centre would be suitable for the smaller tank engines such as the Ixion Hudswell Clarke and the ESU Micro v5.0 sound chips. For the larger ESU XL v5.0 chips and therefore all Heljan locos you require the 5amp booster unit to use in conjunction with the base unit.
