Hi Alan,my bachmann class 24 sounds function without the engine running,two horns,coupler,etc... On a large layout its ok because you only hear engine noise when its coming close or out of tunnels.I agree with you about mutiple engines,more than two would spoil the atmosphere imho unless on a huge layout.

Hi Trev..
Anybody got any thoughts on the feasibility of this ?? What are the possibilities of automating it by means of reid switches ??

..I was given a book "Model Railway Electronics" by Roger Amos and he describes a simple project for sounds.whistle,horn etc...you can also buy sound recording modules which im sure you could activate by means of switches.You can even buy greeting cards where you record your own message which is activated when the card is opened...
Cheers,Frame
