Sound for a Lionel Docksider?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 1:10 AM
I'm looking for info on aftermarket sound system to be installed in a Docksider. I really like this little loco, but I really want a decent sound unit in it if possible.

Any leads?

Thanks,

Space may be a problem. Try going through CTT and contacting the advertisers for sound systems and TMCC upgrades. The first I'd try would be TAS (Traqin America Studio) to check feasibility.

I'm sure there is little/no room inside the engine to add anything. Wish it had a bell sound...but I'll live with just a "toot-toot"[:)]. A great little engine, especially for under $100. Joe

You might try finding an old Lionel RailSounds boxcar (they came in steam and diesel versions). This might not be a perfect solution, but if you want sound ...

Thanks for the info guys. I was hoping they would a "ful dress" Docksider in the new catalog, alas it wasn't to be.

I do like the haloween one though!
