General Discussion (Garden Railways)

Greetings from down under (Australia)I am new to this have just ordered 2 Dash 9 Aritocraft and have a LGB Mallet but as yet no track laid

I am curious about the sound as I have noticed that on YouTube there is some great clips and the sound from the locos are amazing

Can you advise how do you fit it, and where do you get the equiptment and how does it all work

I have used Sierra Sound Units in my locomotives, purchased from Gauge One Gallery in Sydney,

where in Oz are you, I am in Brisbane, Queensland.  Sierra units are very simple to fit.

Hi, i`m sure you would be very pleased with the pheonix sound i use it its very easy to install and i found if i had a prob you can talk to them about it they are most helpful. hope this helps Can I recomend that you use LGB track, mine as been down for 6 years and i`ve not had a problem and i`ve altered it a few times

It would be difficult to use LGB track as it is not currently in production!

Which LGB mallet, some came with sound, mine is the newest version with sound and MTS.

I have the SD-45's with Sierra sound and they are awesome.  A friend has Pheonix sound in his and it is hard to tell the difference.
