Class 47 Volume

The 47 loco appears too loud at idle from the outside. Seems to be so loud that it can be heard from a great distance away. Anyone else feel the volume is inappropriate?

 

It is rather loud yes.

 

Better loud and entertaining than quiet and boring.

 

Tell that to the mother-in-law

 

If you mean the Blackpool-Preston 47, then yes, I do find it far too loud, especially when you compare it to the sound level of the pacer, I have to keep adjusting my sound level up and down all the time, it does get annoying.

 

Yes, the sound is propagated too far from the loco.
