In my opinion sound is great for about 5/10 minutes at low speeds with the ability to use wheel squeak, air compressor and brake release, however when eventually you stop shunting and want to run the engine with a bit more speed it just dosen't sound good, because the constant loud and high pitched sound of notch 8 on a sound decoder is unrealistic. DCC is great for lights and individual control but not sound, then there's the price:eek:
