We believe that MyLocoSound is now the only economical, full function, analogue DC sound system which is readily available worldwide. It is designed to be used on large scale railways and the soundcards are too large to fit in HO, OO, N, etc. small scale railways. The obvious way to implement sound on a small scale railway is to convert to DCC but that is a major expense, a lot of work and a new learning curve for many modellers.

We can offer two options for small scale analogue DC sound; one now (static sound) and one in the near future (mobile sound).



Very soon, MyLocoSound will be releasing a DC sound solution in which the sound moves with the train, just like DCC. If you would like to know more just send an e-mail to sales@mylocosound.com stating your interest in DC sound and please indicate which country you are in.

A very simple alternative is to install a MyLocoSound soundcard under the baseboard with the speaker on top of the baseboard hidden in scenery or buildings. You can then fit buttons at your control panel to sound whistles, horns, etc. The obvious limitation is that the direction the sound is coming from will not move with the locomotive but that is often okay with small layouts and dioramas.

The wiring is simple as shown below. The 9 to 20 volt DC power supply can be from your controller or a regulated mains plug pack. The track connection is the feed from your controller to the track.
