Same happened to me. Never forget - this one (just like my new E91, and others of the "new" breed)
got NO real sound decoder. Only a simple sound board ... [:I]
(we must really read those catalogs most carefully before buying, nowadays [}:)])
Just waiting if the new €400 Croco will have that same poor whistle. In such case they can keep her ...

And congratulations, Hal - glad for you

As far as I can read the catalog, that's exactly the same thing...

Luis

That can not be done with the E10 you can not put a esu sound decoder in this loc. Info comes from stummi's forum.

If something is not oke sent it back.

I also have the br01 the sound is nice. I have 6 steamers with mfx sound. From two the sound has died. I have 10 locs with mfx sound. One was the br50 but that was a not problem I got another one out a another set from my dealer. The other one was the 37974. This loc the BVI has a very special steamloc sound.

Thanks for the update.

Interesting, Davy. Why not?

Any Gators have a lemon? I dont think so.

No no, Steven - they all are just perfectly nice [^]

Just wanna make sure new CE6/8 won't get the same poor whistle like new E91 ...
Since M does insult my ears with the above - call it a preventive hit into their backs [}:)][}:)][}:)]

Very helpful! Thank you Lutz. I will let you know what happens.

Hi Luis,

well - that was actually what I was expecting when I ordered the part straight from the BR01 spare parts sheet: a 28mm 100Ohm Loudspeaker. But it had 32Ohm instead - why? I simply didn't double check that part number with the current spare parts DB list, which tells the "usual" #508609. So, the spare parts sheet is just incorrect for that item.

When I got my new models, I immediately recognized that their loudspeaker part numbers were different ones, as well as the sound pcb; so I measured them and yes, they are 32Ohm.

The pcb is indeed a new, smaller design/layout and operates with 32Ohm loudspeakers. Thus if you don't feel happy enough with the volume and "good vibrations" of the 2x16mm ones, you might want to try the one from the Re4/4-I; its part number is #100619. But you'll have to modify the loudspeaker housing part to mount it safely.

@Soren: The LokSound length is 30mm vs. 23mm of the LokPilot; width should be the same and thus not matter.

It would actually be quite interesting to "enhance" this loco with a (Lok)Sound(-mfx) decoder and thus use the AUX1/AUX2 outputs for such nice features like separate switchable rear and/or cabin lights - and surely they would then also be direction dependent!!!

An additional note to the 28mm/32Ohm loudspeaker above: It is for example used in the non-sound BR01 (#39015, which also explains the incorrect spare part sheet for #39010) and will as well be used in the upcoming wonderful blue NS 1200 model (#37121).

Hi Gene, Forum,

the two other models/sets mentioned by that dealer were the DB era III steamer set #29840 and the SBB Gottardo #39540.

Please keep in mind that this is based upon the dealers records. IMHO it is due to his quite attractive preorder price for those items.

Another highly demanded model seems to be the 2nd Bellingrodt edition BR45 #37452. Dealers who didn't take full advantage yet of their granted order quantity will probably have hard times getting additional ones.

PS: Greetings from a still warm and sunny "Schwabenland" to the San Francisco bay area (which I like almost as much, especially the still less crowded areas).
