Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

QUOTE: Originally posted by selector You can program the muting level of the sound to suit your mood, ear, whim, annoyance level, room acoustics, whatever. When I get tired of hearing my Hudson chuff, I mute it, or even park it with the double-tap on key #9.
QUOTE: Originally posted by JohnT14808 Chip, I know everyone would LIKE to be on the cutting edge of RR modeling and have sound in each and every loco, but the sound is just not worth the cost....my opinion. All the model RR I've been associatedwith has been 'silent' for many a year, except when MRC came out with their 'Sound Station'. That provided great background sound for most every layout. It was the best. Now, however, when we have eight or nine sound trains running in our small enclosed clubhouse basement space, it can get down right unbearable after about 10 to 15 minutes. Sound is cool, a bit pricey, and a neat thing, but small doses go a lo-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-g way...if you ask me. My [2c]
QUOTE: Originally posted by jddav1 There is a lot of hype about the quality of the sound devices available. Most of it seems pretty good. My complaint is the lack of good quality DC soundboards and the prices are out of sight. Jeff
QUOTE: Originally posted by selector rolleiman, for steamers (the only time I use that function), double-tapping key #9 "parks" the loco into a shut-down mode. First double-tap is first stage, and loco can't be moved. Second double-tap, loco only emits basic hiss, third double-tap renders the loco in listening mode only...will emit no sounds, won't move. When you want to bring it back to life, press key #6. And, yes, it is the QSI-equipped BLI Hudson.
