DTG Class 60

[rosschris10]

Quite right too, this pack is an absolute joke. Apart from the close enough horn and idle sounds its an embarrassment.
If you like your Class 60s sounding like a Kuju HST then here is the pack for you...

Going from memory here, but the class 60 does/did sound remarkably similar to a HST. Which could result in a rather unpleasant surprise if you were waiting for a HST to Reading and found a coal train to Didcot approaching instead!

Ssshh Steve - you can't talk positively about Dovetail products. Everything has to have an AP soundpack before it is any good

Yeah it always amazes me how people scream for an AP soundpack from looking at an image on a dtg post lol

[rosschris10]

AP can easily correct the sound problems but not sure about the modelling errors

We will see what comes out when AP either re-release the sound pack to work with this loco or bring out their version of the Class 60

Wait for the “volume series” to make an appearance now

Do I remember someone saying that pictures speak louder than words?

I dunno, but words certainly can give the wrong impression--we've already seen it alluded that AP have a class 60 in development in this thread, which may be correct but if so I definitely missed the official announcement about it.

AP like DTG only seem to put out an announcement when the product is within a week or so of release and is in the final testing stage.

Only found out about the 4 Cep about a week before it was released and that was a big item - must buy it sometime.

So as far as we all know, AP are NOT developing a class 60--that of course doesn't mean they aren't, just that we don't know about it.

I don't think that anyone claimed AP are doing a Class 60? Rather people were speculating that the apparently recently withdrawn Class 60 Sound Pack is being upgraded for the DTG 60 and/or changed into an Expansion Pack

Neither do I, but I still say it was alluded to...

Mind you, as things go with DTG, this Class 60 will probably come bundled up with a route in the next 12/18 months, or, so, just like so many of their other British/German locomotive offerings, so, I think I'll hang on and get it then.

Cheerz. Steve.

I love coming onto these forums whenever a DTG or AP product is released or may/may not be coming. I have bought the DTG 60, and in my honest opinion the model is lovely, i like it a lot. The sounds are utter garbage, and i personally do hope that AP address it, because the tripe sounds spoil an otherwise lovely bit of work.

...... In some cases the sounds people have taken issue with were actually provided by AP ......

Is it not the case that the original Class 101 DMU sounds were recorded about 10 years ago, while Richard was only a lad and dabbling with sound recording as a hobby? Not even sure he'd set up AP yet?

His name is in the credits at the end of the manual for the Strathclyde 101

So now because if this comment people will say how wonderful the Strathclyde 101 is now all of a sudden lol

[USRailFan]

Isn't the Strathclyde 101 based on the original base model though?

I've been a customer of Richard's since 2009, when I obtained his Combination scenario packs 1 & 2, so, that's 12 year's ago........

Cheerz. Steve.
