I have a Lionel Santa Fe B unit with TMCC and railsounds, however the sound is
horrible. It is so loud it is distorted. Is there some way to turn the volume down or is there some other way to fix the bad sound?

Without knowing the model number, I can't be 100% certain. But there is normally a rotary volume knob whereby you can turn the sound down. It's normally near to the switches.
Also, if you open-up the unit, you might wish to check that the speaker is mounted securely, as a loose speaker can make a dreadful row.
Wow Nicole thank you, you're fantastic. I couldn't find the volume knob so I decided to open the unit up, as you suggested, and check the speaker mounting. Speaker was ok but low and behold I spotted a potentiometer that looked like it could be a volume control. The external portion of the knob was disguised to look like one of the fans on the top of the b unit. I applied power and sure enough it was the volume control. After turning the sound down some, it sounds great now. Thank you again for your wonderful help. I was very disgusted with the sound of this unit but now I am very pleased.
Hi Terry,
I'm pleased that I was able to be of some help. Although I'm sorry that I completely forgot that on most 'F' units the volume knob is disguised as a fan. (A senior moment.
)
Not to worry, I have them also.
Now if I could just find those car keys. HaHa
