One thing about sound equipped models - many don't take into consideration that if you were watching a prototype engine from a few hundred feet away, the sound wouldn't be all that loud. That's the way we often view operating models, from a scale hundred feet or more away. So the sound should really be to scale too - not too loud to be distracting, but loud enough so you are aware of it. I've been in large school gyms with train shows and if you can hear the large scale whistles and bells very clearly at the opposite end of the gym - some 100 feet away, then in my opinion the sound is too loud!
