He ain't going for the high notes any more. I thought this track came from the Dukes of September, but I think we would have seen Donald Fagen at keyboards.

Quote from: Ben A on February 19, 2026, 09:38:11 PMThe popping of Spirax valves is primarily for those with MPDs as in reality if you walk around any group of stabled diesel locos it is a sound you'll hear a lot!

Now that makes sense!

my first sound locos were the Revolution Pendo's, it was also the purchase of these which made me consider and then move to DCC.
Whilst I have a few sound loco's, I tend to agree with a number of others, it does get annoying after a while.
Last night at the club we had a HO member running 3 large US diesels and he was told in no uncertain term to shut the f****** things up after a while.

There was an incident here back then when Australia's music guru Molly Meldrum clocked him one. I found that immensely amusing.

There's seven of them at Chez Bealman and that's always happening. Bloody annoying, but as Mick says, better safe than sorry.

I too, am not bothered in the least about the sound of electric toy trains, even if they're kettles. Reminds me of the Triang days of my yoof!

I run DC, no sound.
I have a friend who models the devil's gauge and all his stuff is sound. If he's running three trains at once I find it very distracting, almost disorientating.
We visited a mutual pal who runs N, DC. He has some sound fitted DCC locos and was running his Kato Big Boy, and that bell clanging away all the time was quite irritating, if I'm honest.
I don't think I'll be bothering with sound, somehow.
Each to their own, though.
