Railsounds for conventional diesel

I just finished installing 3 different ERR kits (FM, SD, and GP) for a customer in his conventional locomotives. The sound is significantly superior to what was in them (the SD had a Lionel horn, the FM a QSI horn & bell, the GP was a dummy) prior to ERR installations - he was very pleased.

I checked Lionel parts and they appear to be sold out on Railsounds kits.

Lionel recently removed all the TMCC and early Legacy electronics from the parts site a and declared them "obsolete".  What I hear is they're looking for bids on the lot, so they will show up somewhere at some point I suspect.

BQ: I think I saw a stack of these "Railsound" boards on the "Trainz" spare parts site yesterday - under electronics - O Gauge.

Maybe this is what you are after.

Thanks for your responses!  I looked at the cards on TRAINZ and am interested but it looks like not straightforward the way ERR kits are.  I may get a card but need a chip, and connections aren't clear to me.  I am probably just going to bite the bullet and buy from ERR.  Thanks again!  JIM

Yep, if you buy the Lionel components, you need to make the cables, not to mention figure out the pinouts of any unlabeled boards.  It's not like the ERR stuff that is documented and comes with the cable harnesses.

If you look on ebay there are railsound units ready to drop in. The seller is a member on here too, but I forget his user name. I think Todd is his name? He'll sell cheaper outside of ebay since he's not paying their seller fees. I've installed a steam one and I'm very happy.

Edit: here it is in an MPC locomotive. Also, a railsounds box car may fit the bill too.

Member @PaperTRW has posted various sound systems on the for sale forum, don’t know if any are still available.
