Question on a sound board to add to prewar O and standard gauge running conventional type power?

Contact Dallee Electronics- they make a very nice sound board, and sell the pickup sensor (easy to install) to sync with engines. Also a range of speakers (I'm putting a 2 by 6 inch one in a Standard Gauge engine). Take your pick of whistles, realistic digital sound.

Ron, another option is Williams; I use their reverse board and also their sound boards, which plug into the reverse board. They run on conventional power, are made to fit into O Gauge locos, and come with their own speaker. It may be hard to find a sound board for electric locomotive; I think most of what is available is diesel/electric, or steam.  Click on the links, there are options.

One more option would be an ERR stand alone sound board.

Perhaps a bit off the subject, but I am looking for an answer, a simple answer if there is one, to a question I've had for a while.  I have strictly pre-war tinplate, and have never had any of the new stuff with sound and remote control.  Recently, I've gotten intrigued by  the MTH  263E....but I keep seeing that it has "Proto-sound" and I don't see anything saying it would run fine with just regular old transformer connected to the track with a lockon.  So my question:  will it?

Proto-Sound, Proto-Sound 2 & Proto-Sound 3 will run in conventional mode with most transformers. You will get smoke & sounds, but not all the goodies.

Thanks. I had hoped that was what the answer would be.  Now to drop a HUGE hint for my upcoming birthday.
