Hornby R6925TTS - BR 10T Vent Van Heavily Weathered (with SOUND)

Hornby R6925TTS 12T Ventilated Van with TTS Sound Weathered

The success of Hornby’s TTS decoder has given enthusiasts the chance to experience a value for money soundtrack on their layouts, with the sounds of diesel and steam locomotives adding an extra layer of atmosphere.

To further enhance this atmosphere, Hornby’s engineers have considered how other sounds contribute to ‘setting the scene’. Stand on any busy station, or observe the workings of a bustling freight depot and it is soon obvious that there are a whole range of sounds, from the grind and squeal of wagon wheels, the application of brakes, and the ‘clank’ of couplings, to the movement of passengers, station announcements, a ‘hubbub’  of conversation and carriage doors closing.

The equipping of a wagon with TTS sound  means that it can be placed stationary within  the layout, to give a richer depth of sound, or  can be included anonymously within a rake of wagons, its soundtrack blending with the sounds of other TTS locomotives.
