Hattons Sure Sound & Rail Rumble - Class 66

Sure Sound “projects” have quality and realism at their core.  They are recorded and mastered by the best people in the industry and only ever recorded from the original locomotives or archive recordings where the original is not available.

For recording the 66 we used:

• 4 high-quality microphones linked to a top specification recording device
• 2 handheld recorders
• Separately recorded sounds for each element
• Recorded with people that use the locomotive in day-to-day service
• Over 5 hours recording with the locomotive

Sure Sound is standard with our sound fitted Class 66 and will also feature 6 lighting functions to allow independent control of lights using the newest version of the ESU Loksound decoder.

The Rail Rumble speaker is a step up from the ordinary speakers normally included in manufacturers own sound locomotives. If you have great sounds, you need a great speaker to enjoy them. We have worked hard to find a speaker that is small enough to comfortably fit inside the body of the 66 and still give an excellent quality of sound.  Fitting and usage have also been taken into consideration, with a simple screw fit into the locomotive and plug and socket for the cables, it is very easy to use (although for the sound locos it is already pre-fitted).  The unit also has its own resonance chamber so there is no messy black tac or glue to remove, if there is a need to move the speaker.
