I recently picked up a Lionel 8466 Amtrak at a train show and I have been wanting to install Railsounds, but I know very little about Railsounds or Lionel electronics in general. I’d like to keep the Conventional control, and thought about using the sound files from the Postwar celebration series 2328 Burlington GP7. So basically what I’m asking is what board should I use and how do I install it? I’m not very experienced with electronics so I thought it would be a fun project to learn a thing or two. Thanks

I picked up a railsounds unit from Ebay for $90 and installed in in my southern crescent tender as the sound of steam board was bad. Took me awhile since it was my first time doing it but wildly happy with the results.

Knowing how to solder and having a hot glue gun helped the process greatly.

It was a REALLY tight fit in the tender but I got it to work.


The instructions were clear and I eventually turned the sound down via a knob on the board as it was so loud it shook the tender.
