Railsounds - help

[Anonymous]

I have an older Lionel GP 9 NYC with railsounds. Not tower com or crewtalk. Can I upgrade this loco to have this without adding expensive boards? Is it possible to Flash it up?

Georgia Railroad,

     Welcome to the forum  This group should be able to help you with your question.  I don't have any command items and am not sure.  I would think that you would need the boards, but again, not sure.  Do you live in GA?  Myself and several others on this forum are from GA.  I think we have more people here than train stores in this state.

Sounds are stored on a socketed chip.  You will need a chip puller to swap chips and will need to note the orientation of the chip. You can replace the chip with a different one.  Contact Ed Bender of Digital Dynamics about possible alternative chips.

GeorgiaRR,

Have you done a TMCC  reset yet?  I have some older engines with first or second generation TMCC/Railsounds that occasionally lose sound, the reset fixes them every time.  Good Luck.

Original sound sets did not have TowerCom/Crew Talks.  These features were added later.
