Jim, I'm going to agree with you about the loudness of some of the
functions. One thing that drove me crazy with the earlier Soundtraxx
units was that the bell and horn/whistle were set with the same CV. A
very little bell goes a long way!
I think the only exception and one thing that so far the sound people
have been unable to duplicate is the sound of a K class engine's whistle
echoing off the mountain walls. You can hear those whistles for miles
down the canyons--a sound you'll never forget especially if you're
walking the rails not far away!
