Installing a sound system ?

depends on the operating system you use. ERR has a nice plug and play sound system available.

Well thanks for not much. EER doesn't help me at all since it can't be found on the web.

Thank you very much. That doesn't look too hard.

One more question if I may  How does the EER system compare with the Dallee system as far as quality and ease of installation

Sound quality will be much better than the Dallee.  I've heard the Dallee, but I never installed one.  The ERR RailSounds Commander is very easy, the only part that takes a little work is mounting the reed switch to generate the chuffs.

Does it do 4 chuffs per revolution?

Normally, mounting two magnets on a tender wheel gets you roughly 4 chuffs/rev.  If you want them exactly synchronized to the wheels, you have to mount four magnets on the drivers of the locomotive.

Beertrain,  It may be more appropriate to state how you will run this train.  Conventional or command.  If command, which system, DCS or TMCC/Legacy.  At that point the sound choices may be more suitable to your needs.

There are pros and cons to each system and this may maximize your experience.  As an example MTH sounds and features are accessible via bell/whistle combinations in conventional.  TMCC/Legacy are not.  You operate in COmmand than specific strong points for the various sytems would come into play.  Lionel tends to have richer sounds, but MTH has synchronized chuff and smoke that is considered the best in the industry (imho), etc....  G

Given that most of them have no sounds, I'd have to guess that he's running conventional.  If that's the case, doing the PS/2 upgrade is way more labor intensive, not to mention more expensive, than installing the RailSounds 5 unit from ERR.

That maybe true, but I am just pointing out (because others have asked) it is important to determine how you run your trains and what is important to you before you just select the cheapest or easiest.

He seems to be talking high end brass (at least on 2 of the choices) which I always grimace at gluing magnets and reed switch to get chuffs, plus the lack of selectable chuff and smoke control.

So I still think it is important to provide answers based on need.  These are the questions I would ask a customer when I managed a Hobby shop.  I would not just push what I think is best for him/her based on my likes.  G

I thought that's what this discussion was accomplishing.  Are we not illuminating the choices of sound installations?  I believe we're presenting the pros and cons of the various options, no?

beertrain,

Welcome back! (A few days late.)

This is correct because it's ERR [Electric RailRoad]... NOT EER
