How these systems have come on in a few short years. I have spent the weekend pulling to bits some old scratchbuilt/bashed loco's that I did in the 80's and I have found 2 old sound boards that I had forgot about. Do you remember the slope back tender that either USA or Aristo did? I used the tender body for the front (or back) end of a covered shay that I built and put together another body for the chassis of the tender. The sound unit is still fixed to the chassis and still works but it's primitive, go too fast and you get one continuous roar. The other is a unit I bought from GRS here in the UK & I have no idea who made it. It's a little more sophisticated in that the time between 'chuffs' is variable and doesn't sound that bad, it aslo utilises a battery for steam hiss after the loco stops. This also works well after soldering back on the feed wires, it's half fitted into my C16 now, so I have gone from soundless to sound by just having a rumage around. I remember how impressed I was with the LGB Mogul sound when it came out, little did I realise then that I would be fitting retro sound systems in a few short years! <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
