Are there any steam sound and/or whistle modules/cars  for the Pennsylvania Steam On30 # 25003 train set?

You would have to put a decoder and speaker in the tender or a car with electrical pick ups. To my knowledge, not an easy conversion for this set.
Others will comment.

Hello,

I know of no sound car for On30, but see http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/,
especially the page http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/mogul_tsunami/.

There is a detailed description for install a DCC sound decoder in a Bachmann DC 2-6-0 mogul like yours.

The pack #25003 Pennsylvania with a passenger train is a treasure. It was one of the first three items, when Bachmann started with On30 in 1998.  :D

Thank you for the info.

The skills for this are more than I have.

Maybe I can find someone who can do this.

Or consider a MRC Symphony 77.  Although no longer made it does give basic sounds with speakers under the layout.

These sold for around $70 new so shop around before you buy.

This sound system sounds very interesting.  I will keep a watch for it.
