Reply to "Williams FA-1—Upgrade to True Blast Plus? Or?"

The TrueBlast Plus boards that I've seen left me mostly unimpressed, the prime mover on most of them was pretty low in volume.  I'm curious about your price quote for the ERR RailSounds Commander.  I see the TB+ boards for around $110 on the Bachmann site, and the ERR RS Commander lists for $130.

True Blast Plus boards can be found for around $80 on Ebay. The one I was look at was $79, including shipping. ERR RS Commmanders are $125 on the ERR/3rd Rail site, plus $15 shipping, for a total of $140.

I'd heard complaints about the TB+ prime mover volume on the WBB GP30, but I've found it more than sufficient. That said, IIRC, I've read that it is the wrong prime mover (not turbocharged?). For my taste the prime mover and horn on the WBB GE 70-tonner are a tad quiet, but passable, the bell is far too quiet.

@Mallard4468, Dallee's sounds units are not only out-of-stock, but at $250, are twice the cost of an ERR RS Commander, and do not include a speaker.

FWIW, I went with the ERR RS Commander.
