Adding rail sounds to Lionel layout question

JA Jerry AOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hello everybody again. As my layout is progressing I would like to add rai sounds to the layout itself rather then adding it to individual engines. My layout is entirely Lionel and some command control stuff.

 

What do you think about adding a locomotive and diesel sound system on the layout itself with speakers on the layout table? I would like to control it with my postwar ZW transformer and other buttons if necessary. Can you please comment on this request and possibly recommend systems  on the market?

 

As usual, much thanks hand Happy Thanksgiving, Jerry

Hello everyone,

If I use a stationary unit by the transformer and fix speakers around my 31 foot layout what would be the best system to use? Also, how could I wire it so when the train moves down the track into different sections only that section would produce sound which makes it sound like it's coming from the train itself.

 

Thanks again, cherry

Use block control to turn on the speakers at each section.  Have small blocks so that you can have three sections on at a time.  The one it just left, the block it's on, and the one it's going to.
