Joined: 08/08/2003(UTC) Posts: 1,614 Location: Birmingham,Alabama		I have a question for the digital Gurus out there. Would it be possible to retrofit the decoder on the 36847 locomotive. Then is it possible to obtain sound files from the website and then set them up in the decoder. So I could load Tweety. Daffy, Bugs etc signature sayings into the decoder and execute the sounds at will. Wouldn't that be cool, and a great idea for the grand kids !! Could you do it with a lok programmer ??? Or How could you do it ?

I have compiled some song fragments and one liners and loaded these on a sound decoder in the Theathercouch Dortmund model. Also added light effects that are connected to the illumination functions of the decoder. Don't know which decoder is mounted in your locomotive. Suggest to use a LS3 decoder. It allows to record much longer samples than LS2 and has an additional illumination function (In total 4). Have fun.

Hey - I just found an interesting Looney Tunes sound site: http://www.nonstick.com/sounds Just press on one of the characters to the right ;-) The following are good: Bugs: "Neeh, what's up, doc" Daffy: "Mmmuahahahahah" and "Didn't think I could do it, did ya" Road runner: "Beep Beep" and "Beep beep (2)" Sylvester: "Aaahhhh, shaddap!" Taz: "Tasmanian Devil (3)" - this one even contains parts that can be used for the engine??? Porky: "That's All Folks"

I have been listening to sound files and it is going to be fun to see where this comes out. So for once the locomotive has arrived in Australia before it hits the US. I have not seen on ebay. Has it appeared there yet ??

The Trix board allows and easy way to connect the lights back up and a socket for the installation of the sound decoder. Note that these engines have a spot for a speaker in the underframe. It can be done without the Trix board, but this is a neater solution. r/mark

Seems cheaper to me,since you don't need the decoder anyway. Bart

Joined: 26/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,423 Location: Brisbane, QLD		Thanks for the info Lutz. I've fitted the PCB, and installed an ESU LP mfx - very easy installation! What speaker is the mount underneath the loco designed for? The standard 23mm in the ESU LS mfx is too large. I've ordered an ESU 20mm unit. Do Märklin specify a speaker?

Joined: 26/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,423 Location: Brisbane, QLD		After doing a bit of research (which I should have done before [:I]), I notice that the 6083x series kits include a 22mm speaker. I just dusted off my Vernier calipers, and -- guess what -- the mount appears to be 22mm ø. [:I][:I] Is the Märklin 22mm speaker available as a seperate part, and what is its part number?

Of course, the actual mounting hole is for a 20mm speaker, and both Märklin (#508612) and ESU (#50441) make 20mm speakers... I assume the ESU 50441 is a suitable substitute?

Joined: 26/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,423 Location: Brisbane, QLD		OK finally got around to doing this. One silly question -- which way up does the speaker go? Should the the voice coil or the diaphragm face into the cavity? I assume the voice coil faces in, and the diaphragm faces out...

Joined: 26/03/2006(UTC) Posts: 1,423 Location: Brisbane, QLD		Pål, Yes, thanks for pointing that out! I was carried away with the ETE article, where the photo was somewhat unclear, and forgot to check Lutz's photos [:I] I independently figured out that the voice coil goes outwards, since the retaining bracket has a suitably placed stud to press against it. In this installation (with an ESU 50441 speaker), there is no need for grinding, since the wires pass across the back of the speaker and through the channel without fouling the bracket. This applies to #36890, anyway... The sound is good. I might experiment with some alternative sounds suggested in <s>another</s> this thread... (BR218)
