From: Alan Lambert I agree with Ed, A layout without sound, does not equalthe real thing. If you don't have sound you are playing with toys. I have 3 SHS locos with Loconet sound that I run. Alan

You can always use F8 if the sounds begin to get too much for you. When you get up in age these things are only half as loud as they use to be when you were younger!!!!

Nothing to disturb the other operators. Might get a better bass that way, also.
