Great British Diesels

I hope that someone does an un-biased review of these 'Great British Things' - Great British Steamers wasn't too clever.

The adverts and packaging claimed all sorts of good things that weren't in the product that I bought.

As for the sounds of the new diesels, they'll all be Dash 9 - if GBS is anything to go by - all KUJU Scotsman.

Gets off soapbox.

PS I hope I'm wrong.

I agree, the last offering from the great british series, was lets face it
awfull,apart for a few exceptions.
i think an honest review would be a great help.

ChrisBaily's Ult 37 sunds are the best. Its a shame about the fact theres no single short parp on the horn on the "B" key, and the 50% loop has a horrible bump at the end of it, but that aside, its great.

Try 37 sounds version 3 (carn't remember the ID no at the mo) Put the throttle in notch 1 and listen to the engine rev up and die down again. I LOVE IT!!!

Unfortunately those are the ones with the sound dropout around the 13-50% range in the cab. Very annoying. If it wer'nt for that, they would be perfect. Aren't they Bob Pott's? Excellent 2 tone and single tone horn. Great idling sound, and the throttle up and down is for tractormaniacs!

Shame about the in cab gap.

I think I must have only had the throttle in notch 1 or flat out, and I tend to run trains with an outside view anyway, so I hadn't noticed it!
