DCC Solutions

Custom Built NSW Tangara T-Set Electric Sound Project

This is not just a basic electric ESU/Factory sound project but a completely custom-built and tested sound project by DCC Solutions that contains recorded sounds with customised sound programming plus extra features not available anywhere.

Not only have we built a sound project for the front car, but a second sound project for the rear car as an option.

This will make your NSW Tangara model a uniquely, impressive driving and sounding passenger train that will turn heads!

Coasting on Demand​

This feature allows you to enter coasting mode whenever you want with a press of a button. Often, when coming to a stop, the throttle of a real locomotive is put into idle and the locomotive coasts to a stop. Another situation that occurs is that once a train is up to speed when operating over rolling countryside, the driver can coast to maintain a certain speed. By pressing the coast function button, the sound drops into coasting and remains there. Using the throttle speed control, you can now speed up or slow down the train, with the sound remaining in coasting mode. Press the function button to exit coasting, the sound will return to the speed that's set when exiting.

Working Brake

Press the Brake Function button, and your Tangara will come to a stop at a much shorter distance than if you were to bring it to a stop by reducing the throttle speed. Release the brake and your Tangara will move off again, or choose to have it remain stationary when the brake is released. The brake can also be used while driving to slow the Tangara up.

Brake Squeal on Deceleration

Activate this function and when you reduce the throttle speed, your locomotive will actually begin braking and slow up quicker as you continue to lower the throttle speed, and you will hear the squeal of the brakes. Accelerating releases the brakes, stopping the squeal.

Working Regenerative Braking (Dynamic Brake)

Apply the Dynamic Brakes and the Tangara will automatically begin to slow up as the regenerative braking starts to work, then the Cooling Fans engage to assist with cooling. Reduce the throttle, and the sound projects dynamic braking logic will reduce your speed faster than normal. Disengage Dynamic Braking and the Tangara will return to its notched speed and the cooling fans will turn off.

Random Start-up Sequences with Move Off and Stopping Sounds

Now with random start-up sequences your start-up and shut down will not always sound the same.

As your Tangara begins to move off you will hear the sounds of brakes releasing with random speed activated wheel squeal or rail clanking, rail noises and other sounds. Some of these sounds are random or speed sensitive that will turn on/off automatically depending on your take-off speed. When the Tangara comes to a stop you will hear the squeal of the brakes, air releases and then randomly the compressor will cut in automatically to fill the reservoirs with air until full and will cut out.

Random Sounds

While the factory fitted sound will only offer you 1-2 random sounds, DCC Solutions will have up to 10 random sounds that will play when either the loco is stopping or moving, to create even more realism to running your model.

Electric Passenger Train Sounds

Our Custom Sound Project includes sounds often heard on the NSW Rail Network. Opening and closing of passenger carriage doors, guard's whistles and platform station announcements are some inclusions you will find to really add to the realism of operating an Electric Passenger Train. Optional personalised station announcements can be produced and added to the sound project.
