Purchased a Tweetsie set last Christmas and am now having a problem with the sound. When the train is first started the sound works as it should but over the next few minutes the volume of the sound decreases until there is no sound at all. Have narrowed the problem to the sound board in the tender. A good 9v battery is installed. The sound worked fine until about a month ago. Any suggestions appreciated!! This happens every time the train is run.

I would re check the battery to see if it is at full voltage even if you took it right out of the package. I have had bad luck with some suposedly new batteries in the past.
If not a bad battery, it sounds like a component on the board may be overheating. If the problem is in the board you will need to contact Bachamnn Service for a replacement!
there is a fix here that may help?
