i have a blueline locomotive it works fine on my clubs layout sound works and runs it also operates fine on bli layout .but it doesn't have sound on my layout any ideas
What are you using for a controller? Might not be important right now, though. Maybe you somehow muted the sound. You did not give any details about what you did when you tried it on your own layout. More details can be important.
After you tried the loco at home, did you take it back to the club and try it again?

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
i have a digitrax super chief dsc100 with a dt400 controller this what i have done . i have not muted it , i cleaned the steam locomotive. bli sent me a new decoder all it does is chirps when you press the horn ,bell etc. i pulled the motor decoder and put the jumper in it . it runs good ,but no sound . i reset the cv's 8 to 8 still nothing. also i programed it in ops mode and on the main .the tracks are cleaned

You replaced the Blueline decoder? Are the speakers OK? Check your connections and wires. You may have pinched a speaker wire. Also F8 wakes up a blueline that is not configured to operate on DCC only.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
the speakers and wiring are fine . but i will try f 8 also
Broadway Limited's web site Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) say CV 8=8 will reset a Blue Line sound decoder, but they sent different instructions to us when we asked via email how to reset an RSD-15 decoder.
IIRC, there was a series of 4 or 5 CVs that had to be reset with the motor control decoder removed in order to reset that one.
I'd say try F8 as well.
I once thought my Athearn F3 sound died. I tried reprogramming to factory defaults and some other things and then I tried F8. Silly me, looks like I muted it as she came back to life after hitting F8. Of course I had to reprogram everything back to my liking.
So before reprogramming, always try F8 first.
