One extra note, based on what Don said, my experience with running both of my engines in a public show is that the front-facing SHS NW2's *engine* sounds can be heard, whereas the bottom-facing RS-1's engine sound is virtually inaudible (note that the bell can be easily heard on both of them). Based on this, I would say a front- or up-facing speaker would be better for engines that are going to be run at public shows. However, both of my engines are more than plenty loud for my home layout. At home both engines are set at about 25% of max volume. At shows, the NW2 is set at about 80% of max volume and the RS-1 at almost 100%.
