Dear LayoutSound Newcomers, Just noted that we've had a few new members join over the last few weeks, so Just thought I'd highball a "Welcome!" to all :-) The...
Dear Crew, Oh, something to keep in mind, Fear of trying a new discipline within the world of Model Railroading, is the most common reason that Modeller will...
John I have been a member for about three months now......I joined to try to learn where/how to start installing a sound system on my layout.........the ...
Dear Phil, Please don't go, we'll miss you! ;-) Unfortunately yes, the last few months have been pretty "high level", but that's only because that's been the...
Phil, I've only joined today, but I've always lived by one rule of thumb, and that is when in doubt or you're not sure, "ask questions" Cheers Brian.Millar ......
Hey Brian. Exactly! Without questions this group goes silent... Layout sound doesn't have to be difficult, but (as you know) its like every other modeling...
Phil, I know the feeling that you are experiencing. I would encourage you to 1) stick around, and 2) ask questions. Ask anything you want because this is a...
Hey Phil, If you are still here:)... The audio system is not rocket science, its a player, an amp, and speaker(s). The scale model is the sound you load into...
Dear Professor, Just wanted to follow up on a couple of things. Getting ready to go to the electronics store to get some more bright white LED's and some pref...
Dear Professor, new members, Well now that Phil is gone we can quit pretending not to help anybody:)! I want to reinforce the thread in the On30 Conspiracy...
Jim, Just one point you have a bit wrong, its not only wagons/cars that squeal, locos, generally because they have a greater wheelbase squeal even more them ...
Hi all! The name's Dave Haugh and I'm one of the ON30 members that crossed the line. I'd been thinking about adding sound to my shelf layout and this seemed...
"Hiiiiiii Daaaaave!" they said. Seriously, welcome. Dick Dale _____________________________________________________________ Click here to become a professional...
Hey Dave, Dick, I suppose that layout sound is an addiction (model railroading sure is:), and I suppose that these groups constitute a 'meeting'. So......
Dear Brian, It may be wise to take into account the various prototype locos and train consists that the various group members are most commonly exposed to. As...
John, I also worked for a great many years for Queensland Railways and can tell you big locos squeal on curves and straights, it all depends on the lay of the...
... Maybe just the thumping sounds of a broken wheel not squealing on the car. By using just an ear piece for the speaker it might be loud enough to catch your...
Hello all, Jim and Prof, I had some plans to add rail sounds to my Olszewski Disneyland layout and certainly received a lot of help and guidance from this...
I have long thought about doing the bangs of the wheel with the flat spot and also the squeal onboard on a G small box car. I once scratch built a G backwoods...
Dear Walt, PROF K: Answers Inserted within your text ... PROF K: G'day Walt! Good to see you back :-) ... SNIP (Content needs clarification, maybe pictures to...
Hey Doug, Why not? We 'synchronize' chuffs to drivers. Most everyone thinks about the hardware first... that makes sense because either the hardware is already...
Hey Tom, I think you have the basics in place already, and most (if not all) of the soundtracks... yes? If so, then what you are asking is simply what type...
Hey John, Hope all is well with you and your family. I am going to try and get you some of the answers but I know there is additional clarification that will...
Dear Jim, Doug, I strongly suggest the both of you try to find a copy of Model Railroader June 1996 issue :-) There is an article by Derek Verner, that covers...
I just forget which website it was now but one of the modellers doing C&S is using decoders from some mob which make sounds of cattle they're placed in you...
Dear Professor, This is an interesting approach, and actually simple (which I always like:). But I suspect that the retriggering (cut off) would sound weird....
Hey Brian, It would be nifty if you could remember the name of 'the mob':). Maybe someone in the conspiracy knows? I'm curious if the decoder is user loading,...
Dear Tom, Many thanks for the pics, that does definitely make some things clearer:-) I have to say, for my own layouts, (both touring and "home"), I have been...
