Sound effects on the railroad
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2017 4:43 pm
Some may have considered using sound effects on the layout , other than those build into locomotives and cars.
This could range from farmyard noises, to sawmill or other industrial sounds, road traffic, or music coming from the local bars etc.
One way to do this very cheaply, is to use one of these (rechargeable) MP3 speaker players. At less than 3 pounds each they offer 5 hours of battery playback capacity and run of a small sd card. The SD card could hold any sounds be it music or sound effects and are very compact (about 3cm x 3cm) so fit almost anywhere.
Here's a recent link to some of these.

All you need aside from the speaker is the micro SD card, and some recordings to put on it.
