SWD Digital

South West Digital have retired
I have many loco's sound decoders fitted with SWD sounds, whilst I understand SWD retiring there is no announcement on the Rapido website.

Rapido are a minnow and I do not believe they will promote the brand effectively.

just to clarify, Have Rapido bought the business from SWD? They aren't someone who i've heard of before.

I'd not heard of them either.
Maybe this will clarify the situation:

you obviously are not a DCC sound modeller then

[Stese]

Correct.

While I understand the benefits of DCC, at this time I don't feel these outweigh the disadvantages it would present for me.

DCC sound (Along with DCC) is very much a personal choice. Some love it! Others hate it!
I tried DCC sound and I liked it but when visiting exhibition halls with many sound locos on the go I found it overwealming! Put me off sound as did the cost!

Back to the thread...

Rapido. Don't they make quality 00 locos?
