The best sounding A4 in DCC? Locoman sounds in a Hornby A4

A recently obtained Locoman sound file for A4 pacifics (available at www.locomansounds.com) was installed into my model of 60025 Falcon (a renumbered Hornby 60024 Kingfisher). This project is on a Loksound V4 and I would have to say that the combination of crystal clear recordings with the functionality of the Loksound V4 means that this is probably the best sound loco I have at the moment. Even better, the drivability of it is superb and only a little bit of tweaking was required to get it to work prototypically.

The decoder comes with very comprehensive functions and I have only shown probably half of them on this video, plus there are many more tweaks that can be done if you feel so inclined.

The playable whistle feature is excellent, but perhaps the thing that impressed me most is how it sounds at speed. Too many sound chips sound like a chaff cutter at high speed, but this one sounds like an A4 even near flat out.

This sound decoder and many others can be found on Locoman's website at https://www.locomansounds.com/
