Review on Unitrack Systems ๐Ÿ”Š Kato Analog Sound Box by Alan Brewer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OMG Incredibly accurate cascade of sounds, but ALSO makes your choke "pulse ".

I've been making N scale models for 20 years and have had older sound systems for my analogue rig which is extensive but WOW this sound system is truly and completely UNDERGROUND for what it is capable of. Seriously, I'd love to do a great promotion for this system to do it justice. Not only is the digitally accurate multiple noise amazing on both diesel and steam, and in fact my simple chokes on my second brand new rig which is under construction at our second home we have in the Arizona mountains in the summer like chokes (SHOULD ADVERTISE THIS ADDITIONAL FEATURE ITS AWESOME). You have to flat out to start the diesel and then pull back when the generators start and she picks up speed. When applying gas breaks, use the dynamic pause and ride almost to a standstill. You really need to "MANAGE" the trains, not just stop and start them. My original layout ballasts that I use all winter at our main house in the Phoenix area are all pulsed, so I already like that feature. I just can't say enough good things about this KATO analog sound box, and it's DCC compatible too.

Pros
  • The analog sound box's modular pass-through design means it can easily be used for both N and HO scales!
Cons
  • Crumpled

It was easy to adapt to my Kato track.
