Somewhere I read an article about using a sound decoder under the layout wired to computer type speakers. This was programmed to run as a consist with what ever Loco you wanted. Of course I forgot where the article was. Can you guys and gals help? Also would like to know which decoder falls into decent but not to expensive.
Thanks

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

Recently there was a similar thing using a Soundtrax DSX on three different threads:http://cs.trains.com/forums/1456169/ShowPost.aspxhttp://cs.trains.com/forums/1430099/ShowPost.aspxhttp://cs.trains.com/forums/1426078/ShowPost.aspx
A few years ago SoundTraxx was working on a system where the sound follows the train around the layout. There have also been many threads about this sort of system.
