ESU Loksound 5.0
#2
Today arrived my second Scaletrains GE C39-8 (PN 8211 NS black). I got the PN 8212 (Conrail,blue) two weeks ago and replaced the complete electronic with Tsuname 2 and my own 0204 LEDs. The second one got a standard ESU Lokspund Version 5.0 as designed by Scaletrains.

It is more than obvious that ESU still lacks proper motor handling. It is better than with ESU 3 and 4 but there is still a very noticeable humming sound when the engine starts and stops.
It is also better to put the 0204 SMD LEDs directly in the holes of the shell than the fiber optics provided by Scaletrains. The dim headlight is disappointing.

That completes my Loksound 5.0 test. ESU failed again. I will stay with Tsunami 2 and clean further engines electronics to install my own sound decoder.
