There is no need, in DCC, to have a separate sound system. The British and American magazines have advertised sound systems recently for DC layouts. A word to the wise – do not wind up the volume. Imagine standing at he trackside, you hear a faint chuff, and see, down the line about a mile away, the train approaches. It gets louder as it approaches, roars past, and then fades away. That is the effect you should aim for. Too many layouts have sound fitted locos that you can hear across the other side of the layout. Not very realistic. Where sound is concerned, less is more!
