Good Evening,
I recently acquired a Williams Burlington SD45 dummy engine. It is New Old Stock (NOS), but arrived without any paperwork. When powering up the powered unit on the layout, this engine's sound system is very loud. There is an initial minute long recording of crew talk, and sustained engine noise for a couple of minutes. Than it repeats the process continuously. I cannot find any volume control on the sound board. I am prepared to disconnect the sound, unless someone has a suggestion on how to minimize the sound. I have no way to determine how old the engine is, but it's apparent that it was an early attempt by Williams to incorporate sound on the engines. I have lot's of William's brand engines, but have not encountered this on the dummy units.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions that those with more expertise than i have might have!
