is it worth putting sound in n scale locos or is it a waste of time? thanks
[#welcome] to the forums!
The problem as I see it is that the smaller the speaker, the greater the sound distortion.
Also, not all decoders with sound actually match to the “real sound” of the loco, though many match the loco well.
The sound to me {even in HO scale} sounds to “tinny” and is annoying to me after a short while. WHile one can “turn it off”, it kinda defeats the purpose of having it to begin with…
Also, if you have a few locos going at the same time, it gets a bit chaotic and noisy as they compete for your ear drums.
Just my opinion, others are sure to vary…
