However I am not sure where to start. The effects I am thinking are background and building related e.g., the fire station and church Thank you in advance Kiwi

Here's the link to the official Noch website: http://www.noch.com/en/p...ration/sound-scenes.html Matthew Edited by user 22 June 2017 00:14:54(UTC) \| Reason: Fixed grammatical error

Now to figure out how to afford this... Mike

Marklin did of course (many years ago) produce a horn that cound be operated manually. I hope you will keep us informed of what you do decide to install. BR

I do like some quiet background sounds. The sounds of diesels/steam locomotives idling in the engine service facilty. Station announcements and sounds in the station area and so on. There are several companies that offer stand alone sound circuits of various sounds of all types. Just mount the board under the layout, or inside a building and hide the speaker somewhere. The volume is variable so it can be as loud or as soft as you want it. I find it adds the ambience that might be the final item missing in a scene on a layout. Even when trains are not running, but with the village/city all lighted and the back ground sounds going, its just like that "down" time between trains. Mike
