Layout sound system
Posted by RRaddict on Friday, July 1, 2011 4:16 PM

Does anyone know if the Sound Station City & Country sound system by MRC is worth having? It seems interesting but I am not sure about it.

Can't stop working on the railroad!

I myself mounted the MRC sound system in the AF talking station. You can put the country sounds in the farmer's barn and the city sounds in the city. I believe the sounds come out of two speakers. One speaker for the farm sounds and the other for the city sounds.

Good Luck

I myself kit-bashed the MRC-77 sound system? It worked just great, after some apprehension (so much for the warranty). You can hide the the speakers where ever you want after braking them out of the casing. I put one in each side of the American Flyer Talking Station where the screen is. Use double side tape, so you can remove the speakers when you want. You can install the sound board on the cross support using double sided tape. Re-wire the controls up-thru your layout. Give the control to your children or grand kids while you operate the trains. They can hear all the rail sounds: Horns, Whistles, Air Release, Brake, Dynamic Brake, Water Pump, Fan, Coal being shoveled, Conductor, Bell, Crossing Gate and Rail Clacks.  You can view the video attachment additional help.
