3 questions - does this bc have a 9 volt battery? And, if yes, how does it get replaced? (the doors are sealed shut). Also, volume is very low. Is there a volume control knob or switch? TIA.

How about a video review of the product? I doubt it has a battery, it's a fairly old product, produced in 1990.

This was one of the first diesel RailSounds (RS1) items produced from early 1990. There's no battery back-up, no volume control, and they're very quiet as you've learned.
The next generation, which came about a year later, was still RS1 but contained an add-on amplifier board that boosted the volume and included a control to adjust it. It's part number 610-8007-110, and they can still be found in the marketplace.
A battery back-up doesn't enter into the equation until the introduction of RailSounds 2 in 1994.
Hope this helps.

Thank you both for your replies.
Watched the video. Sounded a lot louder than mine, but can’t tell for certain via a recording.
