New Junction EP15 - Sound fitted Signal Box
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2023
- In this episode at the modern image 'OO' gauge model railway layout New Junction, we continue to work on building the 4-track ECML mainline layout. Using a Bachmann Rothley Cabin Signal box and a Gaugemaster Lineside sound module we add a little life to the scene.
There may also be a few easter egg locos in the video! Kettles kindly provided by @johnjmc

The little sound module looks interesting. Especially the bell codes and levers etc.
Was nice to talk to you in person at Making Tracks…… just now 😀 with my 2 boys having a go on the layout 👍 looking forward to your next video
The pleasure was all mine, hope you're enjoying it!
Adding ambient sound is a good idea. I find as long as they are kept to a low level they work well. When at Rothley I like to listen to the sounds of the box.
Best sound equipped locos that I have ever heard. Stunning.
I have used those sound modules on three layouts. I have used two per layout: modern station and urban sounds, steam era station and country sounds, signal box and country sounds. They do add to a layout. I started by creating my own for a WWI layout before they came out by mixing something like 25 tracks.
😮 I need to look at the others
Looks a really cool piece of kit. The birds chirping really bring some sense of life to the layout!
😊 it's fab
Great video here Richard and a sound signal box is a fantastic idea to add to the layout, the only other place I have seen something like that is the signal box on the Liverpool Lime Street station model railway, great work here Richard, I look forward to seeing more progress, keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
There is something missing from the sound of the module, that’s the signaller shouting at the block bells. Lol 😂
You’re done a great job so far Richard keep up the good work buddy
Normally shouting at the signaller the other end who can't group the bells so as soon as you sit down ding! Lol
@@user-vt7oo9cm5y a close family friend was a signaller, we visited him in the box once and my favourite bit was him hearing the bells and saying "ooooooooh he's in a mood today" from the way he received the signal!
Great update Richard!! like the signalbox with sound very much!!! Cheers Onno.
Many thanks Onno!
THAT is fantastic, great video again Richard, sound system is a great touch
Such a cool addition Richard! I LOVE the sound idea! I like the plans for the roads too
Another great update Richard and explanation of your thinking as the layout develops. First time I have heard about ambient sound and it adds a dimension. Everyone knows you works for Accurascale so plugs can be part of your news updates and I welcome this. I agree the reviews should be left to others for impartiality
Nice update! I do like the „under and over“ on your layout ❤. Sound in the signal box is cool. Kind Regards Matthew
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve ordered the nuclear wagons last week. Cant wait to get them.
Brilliant layout New Junction
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That sound system sounds so cool!
I am currently watching the video and am at 4:50 and just needed to say, before continuing, that I love the 'Goathland Bridge' idea! What a great addition this will prove to be. Eric.
Glad you enjoyed it! Let's hope I can do the idea justice
Some great additions to the layout I do like the bridge and the ambient sound module o yes the signal box ain't bad either thankyou for the video
That’s a great gadget and a superb signal box. The layout is looking good 😊
Thanks Linda, hope you're keeping well!
@@NewJunction Yes thanks
Absolutely fantastic Richard, nice to see your layout progressing very nicely. Love the added signal box and sounds. The two bridges look brilliant, they really add character to the layout! It seems like only yesterday when you first put your boards down the laid the pieces of track. Best wishes Andy 🤩👍
Coming on nicely now Richard Watson, I do like the future plans. I'm sure it will all blend in well, and I do like that sound unit for the signal box. Do like that new 37 and the new wagons. Take care, my friend
Thanks! ❤
Nice update Richard. Great looking signal box for the heritage line part of the layout. The sound module is a great idea as it just adds that extra bit of realism to your layout. - Nicholas.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Here's a mad crazy idea on backscenes, comes from my line of work.. Animated backscenes.. small video projectors , a mirror, we often do this from the wings in a theatre, if we can't get the throw.. (or conferences..) and back-project.. the opposite way to how a cinema works.. and works a bit like a blackbox...🤔🚂🚂K
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know these sound modules existed 👍
Happy to help!
Great video Richard, it went well with my sausages and eggs tea 😂
I really like the extension to the underpass, curving up an over the track.. That will look excellent when the greenery is applied.
See you again soon I hope and be careful with that hot wire thingy 🤣
Regards…. Steve 👍
Nice one! Next time I'll have the sausage and eggs... 😅
Hi Richard, The extra ambiance sounds do add alot more to the layout for sure, now I want them on mine, but first.. I must get cracking on with it.
Ha, no layout and just the sounds could be interesting!
Thanks!
Thanks for the support, it all goes towards the layout build! ❤
Another great video really enjoying seeing it all coming together 👍👌. Love the 37. Still waiting on my Loch Lomond from Accurascale coming 😬😬
Awesome Thanks For the Share.😊😊👍👍
Thanks for the visit
Hi Richard All you need steam coming train
Looking great thinks
What a great idea Richard, I like that! 👏👏. Cheers. …………..Graham
Thanks 👍❤
Like the "ambience" sound module and my Accurascale Nuclear Flask Wagons have just arrived too :)
Lucky, I'm still waiting for mine
You’ve definitely made a great investment there the sounds are great and definitely adds to the atmosphere, already looking forward to the next one thanks for sharing - Mark
Awesome, thank you!
That sounds so good I would love a modern one for my layout.
Who knows what Gaugemaster will do later 😊
Love it 😍
Hi there I am a big fan of the faller road system but you have to be mindful of hill gradients. For good running the manual states “Upward and downward hills when constructing upward or downward hills or crests it’s important to round the roadway at the respective transitions for vehicle control. Upward hills should not be steeper than 12 % (120 mm over 1000 mm roadway) “. The road to the heritage bridge looks steep on the video so I decided to put my thoughts in. I am learning from your fluid approach to design so thanks for that. regards David.
Are there any plans to connect the main line to heritage line? Be cool to see a charter train coming off the main line onto the heritage line!
Not a bad idea that
Good Idea, might not be possible with the height difference though
Sadly not, I've not enough room
When Train Tech were marketing these before they sold the business to Gaugemaster, they had one you could go and record your own ambient sound on as well,,,!!
I do love thatc37. Got one on preorder for next year so hopefully I'll be DCC by then and hopefully working on my loft layout by then.
Get cracking 😊
Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
Thx for the latest uodat Richard, I do love it when I get the notification!! Like the new bridge idea, just don't make the approach to it too steep, even if the real life inspiration is, never looks right when scaled-down to models. Can't wait for the green gold to be applied to them hills
Yes making that look 'real' might be fun, ill do my best 😅
@@NewJunction I am sure u will, these are the parts I enjoy the most, turn g brain farts into small individual scenes that draw the eye
Superb Richard as one of the comments said something missing from the sound module ,like the signal man at North Pole junction 1979 when I was 12 oi get off the F…ing track 😂,I’ll tell ya dad ,hope the new job is going well ,how’s my avocet coming on mate ,all the best and a woof to lulu
Cheers
Mark 😊😊
Haha good point!
Master stroke. Love it.
If you like sound, these are a must!
Great video buddy, just ordered a hot wire cutter, how are the fumes from the foam ? Not directly about to breath them in!, but as example would it be ok to cut/use the cutter in spare room with window open ?
🇺🇦
Hi Richard.
Brilliant vlog buddy.
Trouble with polystyrene if you use a knife or saw little balls all over the neighbourhood🤣. Hot wire perfect just hold your breath.
Can't wait to see the roadway near the signal box should look the business.
Bachmann do make some good models, got their office block.
Well done buddy.
DELPH JUNCTION
Thanks and you're right, messy modeling haha
Hi Richard, there was a firm called Big Train Sounds who supplied stand alone sound/speaker which was blue tooth connected and could be plonked inside a signal box or a station bldg. The signal box sound file has about an hour of random signal box sounds, no wires and rechargeable. £30 I bought his sound scape pad which allows multiple build up of sounds from station ambience, city noise, station train arrival/ departure. Its on one of my vids, not sure if the business is still operating as his web site vanished sadly
Nice One Richard. Educating the kids as always. Since there is a massive revival of railways currentley going on, gets the kids away from the playstation and computer games. You should have been a teacher...😏👍🚂🚂🚂
I've got one of the gaugemaster speakers on my Goathland/Hogsmeade layout hidden in the water tower. However mines wired upto a 9V battery and a push button so you can (or my daughter can) just push a button to stop it if she's bored lol
Smashing video as usual. I don't think Iheard the signalman's kettle boiling!
Not yet!😂
That is a great addition to the layout if you add a signal box to the main line don’t put them too close together
There won't be another 😊
Layout is looking amazing
U could have a visiting loco on a heavy loads flatbed lorry be very cool
Great idea! 😊
It is amazing how many times the NYMR pops up on channels since I visited there only a couple of weeks ago. A friend and I drove over that very road bridge at Goathland. I was researching some of the stations on that line for inspiration for a station on my soon to be layout. Yours is coming together really nicely and it is great to see the thought process as you progress.
Thanks 😊
looking good
however you need a second 37 on those flasks :D
I'll put you in touch with the boss lady! 😂
@@NewJunction noooooo!!!!! Lol.
I spent a bit this weekend buying
2 sprinter DMUs,
1 super sprinter 158
7 40year old mk1s
Back scene x3
Metcalf retaining walls
Whatever next..screaming kids in houses. Love it
Haha already got that!
Fantastic video as always - that sound module is very interesting, but would it not be easier (and cheaper!) to use a Bluetooth speaker connected to a CZcams video? Either way I'm tempted to get one!
Hmmm possibly, might not be so reliable at an exhibition mind
@@NewJunction That's a good point - I hadn't considered that!
I’d prefer a DCC decoder type of set up. It could be wired to the bus wire and then play individual sounds controlled by the operator, or a preset range of sounds.
This works the same way 😊
I don't know if you're aware of what the block bells mean or what you can do with the module, but to give you an idea...
First ding box A to box B = call attention = hello
Ding reply box B to box A = call attention acknowledged = yes?
3 dings followed by a single ding A to B = is the line clear in the advanced section for a class 2 train, (usually passenger service)
3 dings followed by a single ding reply B to A = yes the line is clear, release of section signal given
Train passes, 2 bells A to B, acknowledged by 2 bells B to A, train entering advanced section.
Final bells for train = B to A single ding. A to B acknowledges with single ding.
B to A, 2 - 1 out of section bell code, acknowledged by A to B by repeating it.
Hope this helps with your immersion 😊
Fantastic, many thanks!
@@NewJunction I was wondering if there was anything clever that could be done with this and DCC to actually play the block bells in coordination with the movement of the train?
@@grantt82I'm sure you could
Think you need a home signal by the box and a small walkway from the box for the signalman to receive and collect the token from the driver as your on a single line.
Regards
Stewart
Yes! That's a great idea and one for the future now 😊
Nice layout checked for anyrail trackplans but they seem to be no longer available do you still have them
Hi Richard. I really like the sound module; so much so, I bought two - one for my N gauge layout and one for my TT:120 layout. Interestingly, you removed the module from the signal box - tell me more.
I needed to drill holes for the wires to feed up under the signal box... It was a cheat to get the video finnised quicker haha
Strange this should pop up as I was thinking how I could add signal box sounds to my own layout. However, I was looking to add sounds that reflected what was happening with regard to traffic movement, so random box sounds won't really suffice. Shame, as it does sound good.
Hi Richard, a quick question you or your viewers might be able to help me with. I’m planning a layout with two tracks in a run around (tale chaser). It’s about 7m x 3m, so about 20m (60ft) in circumference. I’m use DCC for the tracks. But I think I’ll use a CDU to power the 40 or so seep point motors. It’s Old school I know but it’s quicker and cheaper.
Q1. If the wires are big enough, will only one or two CDU do the job ?
Q2. If I want to build a mimic board, the push buttons on it are a long way away from the furtherest point motor 10m (30ft). Due to voltage drop, Is this a problem ?
Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alan
For your bridge I know it probably isn’t the look you require but at new mills central station there’s a bridge on a steep uphill gradient which may fit in nicely to what you are trying to portray
Ooooo it's a good suggestion, I'll do some research
That's really coming along nicely Richard, it's all starting to make sense too. I like ambient/background sounds, I've been experimenting with such and 5:1 surround sound etc.
The parapet of the one bridge - does another steel parapet wall need adding on the far side before it dodges back under the newer mainline 🤔🤔
Nice signal box almost akin to several on the old M&SWJR, would be nice in 7mm🤔🤔😉😉😊👍✌️💜
Yes well spotted, currently there's nothing to hold it up yet lol
@@NewJunction 👍✌️💜😊😄
Interesting that both bridges have the same steel and bricks, that tells me that they were built at the same time. Is that what you intended?
Mark in Melbourne
Just an idea about putting a good shed on this outside line with a better platform in front with a cattle dock on it on the road behind the signal box put a bit of the layby in so the signalman can have a car at the back of the box
Great idea
Love the sound in that ivatt. Which sound file is it
cool vid on channel tkeep up the good vids thanks lee
Thanks 👍
Anybody would think you work for Accurascale! But nice showcase and nice models. BTW Shouldn't the heritage goods train have a brake van?
Worst kept secret haha yes it should, I've not got one 😅
Where can i get a mini Richard?🤣🤣🤣
I'm on the Modelu website 😆
Sounds great was there "other" sound cards for some other places like tunnel echo..... Is there any interconnectivity using sound from the locomotive or Diesel for example mixed with the Signal Box noises.
I am trying to be patient with the build and it does look like there has been some serious progress.
Like the Hogwarts nod. Maybe, just maybe, we will get to see that Ford Anglia being chased by the Hogwarts express. Please, Please... Hogwarts Express must seven carriages. That's one for each year and the special one at the front for the prefects.
Haha a bit much for my humble layout 😅
So now you can save a lot off money and by locos without sound when you put a single speaker into a signalbox that can do the same. I just hope it does not give the sound of a switch been trown when a train passes... I just think it is nice in Garage mode. In the Exhibition version, the sound will be 'gone' with all the other sounds (like the commentary of the visitors, to name one....)
Very nicely done. I noticed that the gondolas have a white stripe on one end. What is the meaning of it if any?
Should mean there is an end opening door
@@colinbeasley3718 Ha, OK. Thank you. I am in the US, there are some gondola with both ends opening. They don't have special marking.
Bingo, identifies doors 😊
Do you fancy swapping a weathered ex colas gbrf class 60 with sound and em2 speaker for a accurascale class 97
Are you at Chester on Monday or Thursday?
@@NewJunction I'll try and get down one of those days. Got my voyager on with accurathrash speakers in
hi can i ask what make of track you use please
It's Peco Code 75, Bullhead rail for the heritage line and Concrete sleeper for the mainline.
first! starting to take place looks rly good!
Thanks 😊
Hi Richard have you got a preproduction sample of the class 37 DRS Green fade livery, could you bring it to mt3 I have done weathered kuas, mk2 coaches and a accurascale 37 with detailing fitted would be a nice pair
I do but it dosent have a motor, I'm bringing 7 37s lol
@NewJunction perfect to run behind the other 37, can you get a sound chip for it though and accurathrash speaker
@@user-vt7oo9cm5y we're not allowed sound booo
@@NewJunction can you slip one in as my one has sound
@@NewJunction any chance of a late 92 crew to put in my voyager that has accurathrash speakers fitted? Lol
Whens the next video coming out Richard? Hope everything is alright btw ❤❤
It's actually done, just needs editing so all being well by the weekend! 😁
@@NewJunction alright sorry for being inpatient Richard 😊😊 cant wait for the vid
@@HauntedRailway1820 nudge away, keeps me motivated haha
@@NewJunction bless ya but u have a busy life tho with work
Have you ever used any METCALFE KITS.
Yes on my first layout
Still waiting on my FNAs hopefully soon they will turn up been over a week now they been at the warehouse
All shipping over the next week 😊
It was only HOGSMEAD STATION in the 1st 2 Harry Potter Movies Unfortunately because it looks like a Nice Country STATION.
😂
Why am I thinking Jon Snow and Winter is Coming? 🤷♂
Winter is here lol
