Sounds GREAT! Instead of a battery would Gunrunner John's" your last battery " work?

prr,

I really like the way the sound track came out. Just an FYI, there is only ONE sound car in the NYC Pacemaker video... guess which car it is?

I decided to use an on-board LI battery to make the car more versatile. It can run on both conventional and DCS/TMCC/Legacy layouts because the performance is unrelated to the track voltage.

Note: the sound is not related to train motion. It is on when switched on, and off when switched off, regardless of whether the train is moving or not!

Battery life has been between 4 and 7 hours in my experiments.

One guy at a train show suggested that he would put a sound car on his desk at work and listen every now and then!

I'll do some homework on GRJ's "last battery" setup.
