I had my first experience with a Lionel Super Bass recently and it was amazing.  I was really impressed with the sound quality and volume.  While this unit does make a great addition to any diesel it got me thinking about what else Lionel could do with this technology?

What if Lionel did something like an Aux Water tender or a Super Bass Boxcar?!  I think those would have a market and would allow for more variety.  Many other scales like HO and N have sound boxcars with not just rail sounds but also nature, traffic and other layout appropriate sounds that would be a great addition.

Send the ultra low frequencies to a home subwoofer, then you will have the ultimate in Super Bass !

I recall when Neil Young was still involved with Lionel, they had something like this once at their York display.  This was quite some time ago, I think when they had their display in a tent by the yellow hall.

they need to put sound in all powered units.  they price of the superbass units is now equal to powered units in the latest catalog i believe

I actually like this idea.  If you've ever run three or four engines with sound in all, it really is impressive.  It's more than the volume, it's the beat of the primemovers all running together that is pretty neat.

BLI has done this in HO and N scale with their rolling thunder receiver and it's pretty impressive.
