Accurascale Class 37 - Fitting DCC sound into your model.

Hi John A simple but very effective solution, all models should be like this, well done Accruascale! Thanks

Just as easy to put sound in as it is to fit the crew into the loco so easy

John you failed to tell viewers what your error with the switch label was that you experienced and 1 the cable harness needed to be rerouted around the speaker frame otherwise it will not lay flat allowing the roof to connect properly and 2 that the switch settings are Yellow for ON and black for OFF which to me is not logical since the background is yellow. and in my case here in Australia my chip is soundless and I am having a long winded email session with Accurascale trying to sort out. They are very responsive and are going to send me the sound file, other than that the loco runs excellently. Sorry if I sound a bit off my Class 37 is the only one of the three that my fellow Canberra club members have received giving trouble.

Great easy to follow video. My 37043 Loch Lomond is due from DHL in the next 2 hrs according to the tracking 🤞. I’m the same as you have the DCC ready version and have bought the decoder and speaker separate…….. I shall be watching this again before lunch hopefully 😬. Subscribed 👍 @Mapplewell_Park

Thanks John - nice and easy walk through

Thanks for an informative Video

Brilliant video John JMC

I think I am going to get one of these. Not sure what livery to choose though. I do BR era. Great video John and here is a like from me. I am a new subscriber and I look forward to more! Peter.

Nice video here john🔧🔧👍

Well that was super easy. That is really ‘design clever’. It would of been great to hear the loco start up after you installed the sound chip….. PS - Just subed.

Given these grey speaker clips are not available to buy, currently, your locomotive must be DCC sound supplied. I have been in contact with Accurascale about the grey clips, and they will be available in 6 weeks' time. There will be class 55 clips and class 37 clips and possibly other classes also. I must admit I hadn't given any thought about the dip switched, so I will need to check mine out for the correct settings, if not already. I see others and my myself are experiencing body and / or roof missing magnets, so make sure to check.

Hi john, A quick question, Would you know how to turn up the Accurascale 37 volume CVs?,and a good sound level. Mine has just come back from Accurascale and is pretty quite. ATB Stuart

Do you have to program the CV’s of the decoder if you buy it separately from accurascale?

Hi John good video. When the sound is on does your loco move of on step 1. Install the sound decoder from accurscale yesterday does not move off until step 8. Is this correct

I’ve got the standard version. Just out of curiosity in case I go dcc, does it work out cheaper to fit the bits yourself rather than by the dcc version? Cheers mate.

Any idea where we can buy these clips? I don't believe they come with the speaker but there are location holes for them on the model

Mine arrived (sound decoder fitted) with the wrong switches selected at the factory. Not good. I changed them and the lights still didn't work. They work for Accurascale, so they think it's my Prodigy Express but every other loco works perfectly. I don't know whether to stop buying Accurascale models or buy a different controller.

Fabulous models but cannot get the lights (except auto reverse running lights) to work on Hornby Hm7000 21TX Bluetooth decoder. All the sound options work brilliantly with the HM7000 with Accurathrash speaker (just as good as the LokSound in my view) but Accurascale won’t help me with mapping the other lights to the Hornby decoder. I think they only want to sell their own decoders. Shame as IMHO the Hornby HMDCC app is defo the way to go.

Fail. John. You should have removed the sugar cube speaker that comes preinstalled. By not doing so you have the new thrash speaker wired into it in paradellel. Which half’s the ohms. So all you get is 2 ohms. Remove the sugar cube speaker and main speaker will give 4 ohm,s which is the manufactures recommended setting, Your guru of sound title has been revoked,Also the horn sound is far better with no crackling. Go stand in the naughty corner for not giving your uttermost in fitting the decoder set up. Naughty John.
