Hey guys, Ive heard that some in the US have avoided fitting sound decoders to all their fleet by having "sound cars"- one of the boxcars in the rake that has a sound decoder fitted that can make the generic sound on behlf of any loco. Obviously not the Rolls Royce solution but Im thinking that many UK outline models wont fit a soundie in and this might be a compromise?
Im thinking parcels van (or similar) with the sound decoder and speaker fitted with pick-ups as per wiping contacts onto the track to receive the code instructions. Added to a rake next to the loco I think it might sound ok- excuse the pun!
Does anyone think that a motor load would be required for the synchronisation of "chuffs?" Im thinking that the loco and sound decoder wagon would be consisted- thus matching performance.
Whaydyyaaa Reckon?
