Title: power sound chip or board
Post by: Reno Farina on December 18, 2008, 06:15:40 PM
  I have a Pa. big hauler passenger train that is equipped with smoke and synchronized sound: however, I would like to know if there is a computer chip or board (that I could add to the synchronized sound located in the coal tender) or possibly a track (or track hook-up) that would enable the train engine to have a whistle and bell sound, just like other trains.

Reno,
There are no on-board electronics to produce a whistle or bell sound.

What you hear is all the system will produce.

You would have to add an after-market sound system to get the whistle and bell.

Yes there are severl brands of aftermarket sound boards you could install to get bell & whistle.  The lower cost units are made by Dallee,  or the QSI brand units.

Try typing those brands into Google, you shoud get some idea as to what is avalible

Merry railroading!
