I guess this will be one of those threads where there is a large difference of opinion. I wouldn't be without sound in any loco and consider a stealth loco as incomplete and lacking. With DCC you can turn the sound on and off so if it's doing your head in; you can turn it off. I have the sound on all the time on all the loco's I happen to be running that day. That's how it was in real life in a railway station.

The DCC Controller using s88 or infra red occupancy detectors?

QUOTE Is it that much more difficult than making a good quality DCC decoder which costs around £20. Yes, the cost of manufacture of the basic decoder isn't that different but the technology is.
