146. Chesham Model Railway Club - 00-gauge DCC Test Circuit for Sound Locos - Session 2024-11-25

Описание: Chesham Model Railway Club (CMRC) member Ray Prentice-Garner has made this little one piece 00-gauge test loop Circuit of track for testing Club member’s DCC & DC locos. This saves having to get a big layout out of our store cupboards & currently, we don’t have a completed DCC layout.
I see it as a great opportunity to film the sound locos for YouTube. This video is not a serious review of any loco’s sound file, but gives you a general idea of the quality recordings vs the also rans.

This is the first of hopefully a series of videos of different sound fitted motive traction.
