Worth the $40 for sound, having done the conversion, yeah.

That convinces me On30 is probably the smallest equipment that produces the best sound. Either the speaker is bigger or the tender is larger for a better baffle than HO.

In speakers bigger is always better.

That was using my old analog camcorder otherwise the sound would be better.

Same decoder as the analog Mogul install.

What does narrow gauge steam sound like? Go to the 3:55 mark.
