  • The upcoming Stirling Single model features an updated sound project thanks to an ESU Loksound V5 decoder.
    Here is a video to demonstrate the various sound functions. This model is due to be delivered in Autumn 2024, you can order one here:
    rapidotrains.c...
    Function List:
    F0 Firebox Glow
    F1 Sound on/off
    F2 Brake Function
    F3 Playable Whistle
    F4 Short Whistle
    F5 Guard’s Whistle (with answering whistle)
    F6 Heavy Mode
    F7 Train Set Mode
    F8 Coupling/Uncoupling
    F9 Coal Shovelling
    F10 Coasting
    F11 Injector
    F12 Blower
    F13 Safety Valves
    F14 Drain cocks
    F15 Ejector Sound OFF
    F16 Water Tank Filling
    F17 Flange Squeal/Track Creak
    F18 Sound Fade Out
    F19 Shunt Mode
    The whistle sound on the 2nd production run of Stirling Singles has been changed to an archive recording of the real locomotive.
    If you wish to, you can change the whistle sound back to that used on the first production run by changing CV163 to 1.

    To return to the default whistle (archive recording), change CV163 to 0.
    The Guards Whistle plays when F5 is pressed but when released, an acknowledgment whistle from the locomotive will play.
    F7 Train Set Mode sharpens up the responses of your locomotive, this is to simulate DC operation on DCC to give a ‘train set’ feel to driving your Stirling Single.
    F14 Drain cocks and F17 Flange Squeal/Track Creak will work only when running at low speed, as your model accelerates they will mute above a certain speed step.
    F19 Shunt Mode limits the top speed and sharpens up the responses of your locomotive when activated and make it easier to perform shunting operations such as making up trains.
    Thanks to That Model Railway Guy for filming and editing this video.

      @@Marco-xz9sc yeah it makes modelling British stuff annoying over here due to the difference in dollar. Really if your into steam though the British stuff is cheaper, Rapido Canada just released a 4-6-0 over here and the DC version is $524 while the DCC Sound Version is $650!!! There aren’t many steam locos available in North America, and the ones that are cost a fortune…

      The models have not devalued other than by being an earlier version.
      No one said there would never be any more.
      If you are complaining about the loss of the insane prices charged on the second hand web site just before the new batch was announced, that is just a risk of supply and demand. The manufacturers are not there to make profits for you through scarcity.
