[quote]QUOTE: BOB: There can be NO stereo effect unless (1) the source material has been recorded in two separate channels/Tracks; (2) the speakers have to be a 'set' distance apart - such as head-end and tail-end of a train in HO. Since all commercial sound sources are Mono - BLI / OMI / Soundtraxx / MRC - about the only thing any 2nd speaker could be used for is 'Reverb' or Echo. [/quote] I never assumed there would be stereo sound, I was just pointing out what Hobbycraft has placed in their magazine ad - "stereo speakers" (Canadian Railway Modeller magazine). They've been known to bugger things up in the past, so I assume this is just more of the same and there will only be one speaker in the fuel tank. Perhaps their ad people need a facts checker? Probably too they are using "stereo" to indicate "high quality" or something along that line. I could never see the reason to promote TV sets with "stereo sound", when they have two speakers only a foot or so apart. You'd only get the stereo effect with wider placed speakers.
