One Legacy steam engine has 1 Baby Fat Boy speaker: 8 ohm, 2.0W, 40mm round

    (0-8-0, Mikado, etc)

 

Another Legacy steam engine has 2 Baby Fat Boy speakers: each 16 ohm, 2.0W, 40mm round 

    (K-4, Legacy Hudson, etc)

 

I don't understand the relationship between the difference in impedance and speaker quantity.

 

Does this tell me that the K-4 will have more volume than the Mikado? Significantly more? Does this tell me anything about the quality of the sound?

 

 

Also, what is "Railsounds Lite?" The Mikado and the K-4 both have it. I see the Legacy 0-8-0's and others have Railsounds 6.0

 

 

Thanks in advance for answering my newbie questions

Jim

The two 16 ohm speakers are most likely in parallel, yielding a power handling capability of 4 watts at 8 ohms.  Logically, assuming the capability to drive those speakers exists, the dual speaker rig would have better volume and sound quality.

 

Never heard of "Railsounds Lite", that's a new one on me.

 

What are the exact Lionel numbers for those locomotives and where do you see the reference to "Railsounds Lite"?

Thank you, GRJohn.

 

"Railsounds Lite" was in the part description/name in the parts breakdown for the sound board.

 

The new PRR Mikado 6-11257, #29 at http://www.lionel.com/CustomerService/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?doAction=productPartFilter&number=6911257t01&productID=07065383-871c-42e6-be64-e8d76d2e02e9 

 

And, the recent PRR K-4 6-11265, #26 at http://www.lionel.com/CustomerService/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?doAction=productPartFilter&number=6911265T01&productID=dab7abb5-6668-4fb0-80e5-c740e04b6a42 

 

Other parts breakdowns, such as for the Erie 0-8-0 Yard Goat 6-11247 have, of course, "Railsounds 6.0" as the part description/name .... #20 at http://www.lionel.com/CustomerService/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?doAction=productPartFilter&number=6911247T01&productID=07b59652-ffe9-4df8-b238-e711033ba103

 

Thanks
