Title: Funkey diesel - Vale of Ffestiniog
Post by: Terry Metcalfe on April 20, 2026, 18:27
Does anyone know of a sound file or, better, a 6 pin sound chip for this locomotive?

I can't think of one off the top of my head.

It might be worth looking at the technical specs of the loco to see what engine it has - a Cummins diesel I think - and seeing if there's something else out there using a similar engine & (hydraulic?) transmission set up for which there is a sound chip / files that can be put onto a blank chip.

Thanks.   I'll see what I can find.  You are right it is a Cummins.  But what ever else uses that engine will need some research.

It wouldn't hurt to drop a line to the railway to enquire if they might have some sound files they might let you have - or know of someone who can help?
