Train Tech SFX11 Steam Freight Sound Capsule
This video is a demonstration of the new Train Tech SFX11 Steam Freight Locomotive module showing how easy it is to fit and what it sounds like. The SFX Sound capsules are a series of easy to use completely self contained sound capsules which are powered by a small CR2032 coin cell battery and activated by motion so that NO wires or switches are required and they work on DC or DCC because no connections to the rails are needed.
SFX sound capsules can be fitted inside a loco, wagon or coach to bring easy to fit low cost real railway sounds to almost any layout.
All sounds are real sounds from real trains recorded by Train Tech and the video is 'as live' with no sound enhancements or other tricks - what you see is what you will get.
SFX11 sounds...
These are the sounds you can expect to hear from your SFX11. They are not simulated effects but real sounds recorded by us on the North Norfolk Railway from Steam loco B12 8572 except the coaling shovelling which is from Oliver Cromwell 70013.
Resting - Gentle steam hiss plus a Pump and occasional Fireman coaling
Any movement triggers the sound of steam release and if motion continues there is a short whistle followed by ‘chuffs’
Slow Steam chuffs get a little faster after a while, as heard with heavy goods or shunting
A double whistle sounds if the loco travels continuously for a while
When motion stops it returns to Resting sounds.
When there is no motion for around a minute the SFX automatically goes to sleep and waits for movement to wake it up.
