Thanks CJack. I'll try it, however the engine runs perfectly when the sound stops.

Have two Legacy engines which do this, the sound drops out, over some long switches. Can't locate the post where, IIRC, someone from Lionel mentioned they changed the sound software and the Legacy ones would not just begin chuffing again as TMCC steam would after the voltage drop. Thought they mentioned it was being rectified on the Vision Big Boy? Seems odd the Vol Pot would be your cause but it is worth a try. We have purchased Johns YLB to be installed the next time we run them.

I have the Lionel Penn U Boat from several years ago and the same drop out happened. It was the vol pot also. Turned it low to high repetedly and blew air across it and has never dropped out again. The vol pot must be installed in order for sounds to work so it was worth the try. Think about an old radio that scratches when the volume was turned up or down. Once moved rapidly up and down the scratch sound went away. That was my reasoning.
