"Now isn't that spooky - 'The Yank' that Paul refers to is Lance Mindheim, and last night, when Paul tried out the NCE Powercab, the friend we were visiting was also playing one of Alan Keller's Great Model Railroad dvd's of Mr Mindheims now sold 'N' gauge empire."


And what a great night out it was too! Trains, beer, more trains, more beer - mmmm roundy roundy

Scroll down to a blog entry on/about April (12th ?) 2012 and then scroll back up the page for the later entries - all in relation to sound, using a chip mounted below the baseboard, and feeding computer speakers.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it'd suit me - for a start I've got huge variety in my US-outline motive power, with turbo and non-turbo EMD units, Alco and even the odd GE or FM loco. Having the sound on board the loco makes most sense to me, I just wish all manufacturers put a volume control on a function button like ESU do.

I also enjoyed the two video links on the June 22nd 2012 entry - love the sound of those turbo 645s....

In my case, I have a small 'shunting plank' - urban setting, early 70s featuring several Cl.08s.
.
My intention is to use one chip below the board, to provide sound for the different 08s - other locos, could rely on their own sound system.
