Station sound

[joshpaul1]

good evening so I’ve build a box to house my signals and sidings and wires network so thinking about station sounds any recommendations? Thinking about maybe
putting a speaker in my box for the sound rather than on the track what do we recommend.
Kind regards
Josh
Ps love this this forum such a great help.

There used to be a great kit from Busch, but never seen one of these for sale.

But have kept and eye on this product on ebay, its in Germany but postage is reasonable and that might do the job for you.

or maybe you could record your own sounds on this module from a uk supplier which is quite good and cheap, i picked one up at a show last year for inside a church.

Sounds can add a whole new level of realism to our hobby. Simple announcements at stations, lineside sound effects and realistic locomotive sound transform a garden railway into a miniature wonderland, captivating for children and adults alike.

I've added lineside sound effects using very cheap (under £10GBP) MP3 players.

How I created lineside sound effects

Narrow gauge large scale model garden railway. Battery powered, radio controlled locomotives, some Bluetooth. Set in Cheshire UK in 1930s

Both above are probably better solutions. However, I used one of these to provide a sound for my Bowaters Models WHR 16mm scale Service car. Cheap and cheerfull. However I do not think you can "loop" sound files for continuous playback.
