Hello, I am new here.
I just purchased the on30 Budweiser train set.
I have an audio question.
Can sound be added to this Loco ?
I've Googled this question many times and
still can't find an answer.
-------
I thought I had posted this question
a few minutes ago but it disappeared
to where I know not. I hope this one takes
and hope someone can answer my question.

I am not familiar with that train.  If you can provide a photo or a description of the locomotive, I can give you a better answer. However with that said, you can add a sound decoder to most locomotives, it just isn't always worth the time or money required to do it.

You'll find instructions on how to add a Soundtraxx Tsunami decoder and speakers to the On30 2-6-0 Mogul here:

This is NOT a 'Plug-n-Play' conversion, and assumes you have some modeling and soldering skills. Also note the like part way down the page for updated info on connectors and the new style PCB in the 2-6-0.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

An aside -
Len, not necessary for you to type the url tags. The url tags are automatically added to a link by this board's software.

Adding the tags is just habit I guess. The link should work now, I fixed the typo.
