RMweb Gold russ p Posted December 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2019 Bit of a long shot but has anyone done a sound chip for the original mirrlees engine in the brush type 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Howes. Bryan based it on a slowed down class 60 Mirrlees engine and some archive footage. I was probably the one who prompted him to do this one from a throw-away comment I made at the time. I don't know whether he has upgraded this to suit LokSound V4 or 5 (mine is on a V3.5 decoder). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but I can't imagine that the big straight 8 in a 60 would sound anything like the V12 in a 30 Brief clips I've heard of them they sound like a31 but a lot more bass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 He tried to match the archival sounds from what was available. The archive material itself was not of suitable quality. This is a video I took around 2008 on my old layout (now defunct). It will give you some idea of what it sounds like. Since none survived into preservation with their Mirrlees engines, there is no way of getting a 100% accurate sound project. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted December 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2019 That's a good quality sound installation but it doesn't sound like a V12 to me , and the compressor running at the end of the clip isn't present on the real thing. 30/31 compressors are pretty quiet compared to other locos sounding a bit like southern EMU ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legomanbiffo does a good Mirrlees 37 and could probably swap the horns etc to suit a 30 Richard Hi Richard No the 37/9 engine is a 6cyl version of the 8cyl class 60 engine There is a brief clip of class 30 sound in a film on YouTube called a city and its railways about the modernisation of Sheffield's railways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 That bass heavy clattery rumble is what I recall of the Brush 2 / 30. The EE replacement was more of a tenor... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
