Rossi Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi Mart, Got a couple of those Train_Tech modules a few months back and yes they do the job. I thought they were a little too quiet at first but now think any louder & we'd upset the neighbours! On reflection it probably is scale sound. Put this video on some other page... Surprising how quickly the batteries run out though. (Think it's a couple of hours). You forget how time flies when having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 yes time does fly m8 i thinking of having a play with the sound device removing the battery all together and powering from the coach or tender it sits in just need to get the correct resistor for the voltage, Then ill will have a play, but have much more other jobs on first. By the way m8 is your railway all outdoors or it covered by any thing nice layout as for the sfx sound not loud put gags on them birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 yeah...the budgies. Funny, we never hear them because it's pretty constant.Seemed like a good idea at the time after the canaries. Still, we flog the babies to the local pet shop & the funds go to the railway...or in truth a meal out-LOL. What you see of the railway is all of it. Nowhere near as big as some on here. Main station area has a roof over it (bottom of terrace). Part of the day shaded, which helps. Plus side: track cleaning takes 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
