Title: Sound Decoder
Post by: mark4 on December 26, 2011, 11:20:01 AM
Hello everyone,  I am running a mix of European and American Brands.  My problem is trying to find a sound decoder that sounds like a modern German Whistle.  The whistle sounds I have heard sound like steam generated and rightfully so since they are for steam engines. The electric and some diesel engines here in Germany have a shrill electronic type whistle.  The closest thing I can remember is the NYC subway had a whistle but now it has horns.  Has anyone heard any sound decoders that don't sound like steam whistles? Thank You

Check ESU – LokSound  (http://www.esu.eu/en/products/product-overview)decoders.

They have European and USA sounds. I think they have UK sounds also. Take your time and look around, all the sound samples are available for download.

Check Ebay UK. Search HO and OO scale for sound. I have purchased several items for UK and have never had a problem.

Make sure to check Loksound (ESU) as they have a large variety of sounds.

Thank You to everyone.  This is a help. I think I saw some ESU decoders at an electronics store that sells model train supplies.  Have to get a stock number and see if can match it up.  Also check out ebay GB.  Thanks again
