I purchased a nice LionChief 0-8-0 Engine and Tender from a forum member. At that time I did not realize there was no little Sound Pot on the loco.  The Sound level is way too loud for where I live so a have to operate the loco with no engine sounds at all.  There is a switch to turn the sounds on or off.  

I like to hear the chuffing so I am wondering ...  How can you lower the volume without turning the sounds completely?

The tape is a nice simple solution.

For an adjustable volume control a part called an L-Pad can be used.  These function much like a potentiometer, but are designed for speaker level audio and not to harm the amplifier.  They cosy about 10 bucks for one suitable for something like this.  The draw back is, the part is fairy large, about 1.75 inches diameter and 1 inch high.
