The soundcards provide a big variety of heavy diesel locomotive sounds from Britain, North America and Australasia. These include a selection of engines, horns, turbos, bells, etc. Using a TV remote control, you are able to select the sounds you wish to hear from your locomotive. These sounds can be triggered by you, using a radio control transmitter or magnets on the track, or can be sounded automatically

Whilst it’s great to have a highly adjustable soundcard, the benefit is lost if you have to take the locomotive apart each time you want to make an adjustment. MyLocoSound has solved this problem by using the TV remote control to make all adjustments from outside the locomotive. Only one remote control is needed for any number of locomotives. All of the sounds can be triggered by the function buttons of multi-channel radio control systems.

MyLocoSound also works well with simple track powered railways. On these, the sounds can be triggered in four ways. Firstly, the diesel horn can be set to sound automatically when the loco moves off and at timed intervals when running. Secondly, trackside magnets and loco mounted reed switches can trigger any of the sounds at selected positions on the railway. Thirdly the remote control can be used to trigger any of the sounds but only from short distances. Finally you can use one of the two channel
remote control switches which can be found via your search engine.

On track powered railways, each locomotive needs a 7.2 or 9 volt support battery on board to sustain the sound when the track voltage is reduced to stop at a station. This battery will recharge automatically when the loco is running.

SAMPLE BRITISH SOUNDS

The British sounds include a two tone horn with adjustable pitch and volume and an option to play tunes on it using two buttons. All adjustments and selections are made using a TV remote control; no programming is required. A load sensitive engine sound is provided which is loud when accelerating, softens when coasting and is softer still when slowing down. Options are included for "notching up".
