That's neat. I think that's much more practical way to add sounds than what I have been doing sometimes - LP records on my HiFi. Although I did pick up an antique horn sound generator from a swap meet today. If it works I will definitely use it in place of the AF horns!
One of the apps has a pretty decent diesel horn but not as good as the videos. There are numerous ways to attack the same problem! Thanks for watching.
@@paulmontgomery303 Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, as far as I know, there’s no way to attach a photo to a TH-cam comment so I’ll have to try to explain it. Of course, the outside is a simple loop with one siding. The inside is a figure-8 that loops back on itself. I found the idea on Pinterest. Then I’ve connected the two sections with switches so trains can transfer from loop to loop. I’ve had a similar request before so the next time I set the layout up I’ll do a video showing only track with no buildings or other landscaping in the way so viewers can get a better idea of how the inside loop is set up. I’m glad I found that idea because I think it adds a lot of interest to a limited sized layout (approximately 12’ x 6’). Thanks for watching.
Nice Roger, thank you for sharing. Just a suggestion for future videos that leverage online resources like products found on eBay, TH-cam, etc. Consider placing links to these in your video description (a.k.a. “Description below”) or in a card above during the video replay (a.k.a. “Card above”), thanks for considering this, DavesAFTrains
Thanks for the suggestion. I can still put the other TH-cam links in the description. I don’t mind doing that but, several years ago, I thought I innocently referred to another video and got some sort of copyright violation notice. To this day I have no idea what I did wrong but it’s made me a bit hesitant to do that again- I thought people would appreciate the publicity! I don’t think there will be a problem listing the videos I used for my sounds so I’ll work on that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great idea for sound. You mentioned using more than 1 speaker on the layout. Can you connect to more than 1 speaker at a time? Or do you need more than 1 device for each speaker! Great layout plan! Thanks for sharing! @Cbtrainnut
I’m really not sure about that so maybe I spoke too soon on that. Somebody with better tech skills than me might be able to answer that. Sorry for my lame response but thanks for watching and for your comment.
Great layout. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Wonderful video and affordable sound system. Thank you for posting. I also really enjoyed your layout.
Thank you. I’m redesigning the raised loop on the layout and hope to have it in place soon.
What a remarkable idea. A real addition to the hobby.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Nice sound, nice layout track plan, and lots of interesting old Lionel and Flyer accessories not to mention excellent Flyer trains,
Thanks, I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for a nice idea.
I’m glad you liked it. I’ve been working more with the apps and I think they could be useful.

That is a great layout. And a great idea for sound. I would like to see a drawing of your layout great job thanks for posting.
