In my opinion the best is the sound provided by Dapol on theirs. It’s a zimo decoder which can easily have a stay alive fitted.

The little building in place
Nice to have a structure in place, also today I finished laying the individual bricks and have now blended in the area with DAS clay. Once dry I’ll add some fine sand before paint.
