Thanks for the info. Will check it out

Thank You for your help. Not sure what I am gong to do.  Starting to set up my village scene tomorrow. takes about three weeks.

Hello,   I am not only new to this forum board, but I am also new to 0N30 trains.   Every year I setup my Christmas village. I always had a battery powered tree train in it. No the best ,but it worked and had sound.  It died and I decided to get the Bachmann Home for the Holiday train set.  Awesome little setup. I added extra track and it was a big hit with the exception of sound.  Now for the big question !  How do I add train sounds without breaking the bank.  I only use this 2 months out of the year at Christmas . I see where I could buy a new engine with sound on board, but I also need a new controller.
Getting pricey !!   Any other suggestions  Thank you.
