Press Statement - Class 37 Sound locomotives

Date: 25 January 2008
Source: Bachmann

Bachmann Europe Plc has received a number of complaints regarding the recently released sound Class 37 locomotives which some consider to be too quiet. Bachmann reduced the factory setting volume because previously we had received complaints that they were set too loud!

The two recently released examples are 32-380DS No. 37698 Coedbach and 32-781DS No. 37-057 Viking.

Contrary to some rumours now circulating, the volume on these locomotives can be increased by adjusting CV63. The factory setting for these two locomotives was set at 50 but can be adjusted to suit between 0 and 64. The earlier releases of Class 20 and Class 66 locomotives were both factory set to the maximum level of 64.
