Detailed Description
Detailed Description
Designed specifically for the accurascale Class 60 locomotive, this decoder works seamlessly with the onboard lighting, PowerPack stay-alive system and dual speaker configuration to reproduce the characteristic sound and function of an BR Class 60 at work.
Recommended for the following locomotives from Run 1 of our Class 60 Locomotives:
60001, 60007, 60015, 60031, 60033, 60065, 60075, 60092

The LokSound 5 decoder works for analogue DC and AC (!) layouts.
Sound
The LokSound 5 decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity.
The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.
Functions
We are quite aware that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore we have packed many function outputs into it. Subject to the type of interface every LokSound 5 has at least 10 amplified outputs. The decoders with PluX22 or 21MTC interface have an additional 4 outputs for controlling servos or as logic outputs. Of course, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known as the coupler waltz - required for reliable operation of digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as Telex® couplers.
Motor control
Motor control of the LokSound 5 has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 decoder supplies up to 1.5A motor current, which is quite sufficient even for older motor types.

The important point about this decoder is that it contains the original Class 60 sound profile. I fitted it to my Accurascale Mainline Class 60, number 60075, and it works extremely well.
My initial mistake when buying Accurascale locomotives was choosing DCC-ready models with the intention of fitting HM7000 decoders later. However, on a sophisticated model such as the Class 60, I found that some of the model-specific functions, including the radiator-room and control-desk lighting, were not available with that setup.
This dedicated LokSound decoder is designed specifically for the Accurascale Class 60. The correct original sounds and function mappings are already programmed, and it works properly with the locomotive’s lighting, PowerPack and dual-speaker system. It provides the complete experience that this model was designed to deliver.
At the normal post-purchase price of £114.95, LokSound decoders are extremely expensive. However, I received 30% off during Accurascale’s recent summer sale, reducing the price to approximately £80.47. At that price, it was an absolute bargain.
I now tend to buy my Accurascale locomotives with the correct sound decoder factory-fitted whenever possible. This ensures that I receive the appropriate sound profile, lighting functions and programming from the outset, without the additional cost and inconvenience of upgrading later. For anyone who owns a DCC-ready 60075, this original Class 60 LokSound decoder is the correct upgrade.
This will be first of many sound decoders ile be buying from accurascale for my class 60 locos.
Once again quick and simple transaction and next day posting!!
Many thanks neil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great sound. Made my my 60006 renumber alive
Really easy to install
Good Quality sound files.
Excellent sound chip, I like the brakes
Worked fantastically. Simple to install and away we went without any trouble at all
Esu decoder are always great
We all hear sound differently, my favourite part of the sound is that it “has a weight to it”, if you know, you know.
Relatively easy to fit
Sounds great with the upgraded speaker installed.
Brilliant product thanks again.
Excellent service, well packed
