At our Club (Upstate Model Railroaders-NY) we are runing trains using traditional American Flyer transformers with Lionel Sound Boxcars. The transformers do not have a sound button. Would a Lionel #5906 sound activation button work? Thanks. Mike

Mike, more info is needed. What are you trying to obtain sound from and what sounds are you looking for?

Apologies. I will shortly try to provide. Mike
If you are operating S gauge then this is the correct manual. The buttons are the same.

Sorry, I tried twice, that link seems to not translate when posted. Perhaps I lack competence.
Note that in two rail, which button activates which sound is dependent on the direction the car is placed on the track.
Thanks, that works. Usually I do not have an issue with adding the links.
All,
Thanks very much for your kind responses. I have ordered the Sound Activation Button and hope to receive next week. I plan on posting a brief video when installed. Best. Mike
Mike, having 2 buttons will allow you to operate both the bell and whistle without turning the car around or otherwise changing the polarity of the DC imposed on the AC track current (page 9).

Thank you. Understand. Will try. Best. Mike
