Our models are big. Not so many people 'play' with them! So a niche in model trains. - Not so much 'economies of scale' for manufacturers..
There is a more economical way of adding sound to your LGB 2095 (cute loco, I love those connecting rods). A MyLocoSound soundcard with 3 watt speaker and TV Remote control (for setting up the sounds) comes to about US$140. The light diesel soundcard comes with a variety of horns and engines and the GE electric horn and engine are very close to the 2095. See Light Industrial. Talk to Del Tapparo at G Scale Graphics in Colorado; he is the MyLocoSound US distributor.
That does seem like a decent way to resolve this.
There are plenty of posts about fitting sound included in the Battery thread. Many of my conversions have My Loco Sound fitted but I have also used DCC sound (yes more expensive unless pre fitted) and some have even used steam ship sound units in the long and distant oast.
On our light diesel soundcard there is a choice of seven horns which can be triggered by radio control, or my track magnets or at automatic timed intervals. There is also a bell for US locos, a guard's whistle, an "All aboard", brake squeal. There are five throttle gear profiles and a selectable gear change.
No horn, but there's a few places horn sound modules can be bought or just use an MP3 player.
Incorrect...there is definitely a horn on our soundcards.... choice of seven.
Hi Peter, I was referring to the AliExpress cheapo diesel module, not your excellent soundcards.
Thanks Rik
