I have the SP Sharknose Legacy set, slightly used. It's been on the shelf for a couple of months. I tried to run it today and all works well, direction, lights, motion; but I can't get sound. The volume is turned up, and I have reset it and even reassigned the address but there is no sound. It worked flawlessly before shelving.  Any ideas?

Reading RR, could you please be more explicit about reseating the sound board. Do you mean pulling it out and reinserting? And where exactly is it?

Hello my Friend,

What GRJ is saying, which Reading RR may have overlooked, is that your engine does not have the Modular style boards as some earlier Legacy and all TMCC engines have.

In your case,these Legacy Sharknose Units, do not have the modular style boards, instead you have the, now more common, Legacy Railsounds Lite board which is not "Reseatable" (May be a made up word lol) like say a Railsounds 4 or 5 board was.

I don't have a lot of experience here, GRJ is going to be your guy for that info, but I would begin by opening the units up and seeing if you see anything disconnected. Also check to see if the speaker has gotten anything metal stuck in it. Diesel engines are infamous for finding bits of steel you may have left behind when working on the layout.

I hope this helps clarify a bit for you.

Thanks!
