Multiple Locomotives with sound on one layout.

I have some sound equipped engines BLI N&W A and LIONEL Veranda and also some that are not delivered yet: ATHEARN Challenger and BLI AT&SF Northern. <br /> <br />Locomotives with sound are no goal for me. When they run it often sounds not realistic. The sound of a rolling train is often louder than the engine! In a depot a sound equipped engine is a good eyecatcher (also earcatcher I think) but when there are more than 2 or 3 you sometimes only hear a undefinable "NOISE"! <br /> <br />And when you present a layout on a fair - sound is bad! <br /> <br />I remember a fair here in Germany few years ago. <br />Our clublayout was displayed side by side with a LGB layout. Most trains with sound. A car with bleating sheeps. I will never forget this. <br /> <br />Our layout was a hand controlled point to point modul layout. Such a layout needs a lot of concentration, in fact when vistors ask you. Controling and answering isn´t easy at the same time. And we were only a handful members! <br /> <br />After 2 hours the sound made you excited! Since that day I´m no sound fan! <br /> <br />
