There are also Railsounds 2 tenders available. You can also buy sound only kits from Digital Dynamics. These cost about $90 and can be easily installed in the powered unit or a dummy unit with pickup rollers. I have a number of these I have installed in Williams and as MTH replacements with bad PS1 boards. The Railsounds fidelity is much better that the original PS1 and even some PS2 units I have. Dale Hz

QUOTE: Originally posted by jaabat Well, you're taken care of, but if any one else wants a very affordable way to add sounds to their pre-war or other trains, I'd say MRC's Soundstation 312 is the way to go. It has digital steam cuffing and diesel revving, horns, whistles, bells, all kinds of great train sounds. They usually sell for $75.00, but I've seen them as low as $40.00 online.
