Title: Station sounds
Post by: tfcii on January 11, 2009, 09:09:27 AM
Recently I noticed that on the underframe of my Madison baggage car by Williams that it was written: "wired for station sounds".  I presume that there is some type of sound board that may be available to "plug-in" to the internal wiring of the car.  Please advise if a soundboard is available and where I might purchase or shop for one.  Thanks.
P.S.  This is an O scale car.

I'd love to have a "sound station" with the old Mel Blanc --Jack Benny Show announcements ending in "Leaving for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc-amunga!"--I remember that as a kid--gj

Hello,

About ten years ago Williams had an optional sound board that was included in some sets.  We were considering doing it again so we included a socket that would allow easy installation.  The project never took off and there are passenger cars that were produced for one year that have this plug and corresponding plate on the bottom.
