    Description

    This is a
    Lionel Christmas Sound System
    that originally came in some Lionel Christmas-themed train sets and separate-sale boxcars. It's powered by a 9-volt battery, which is not included.
    It features a recording that's just under eight minutes in length, and features 12 different instrumental Christmas songs. Once complete, it repeats until turned-off.
    Since this system does not require track power, it can be placed just about anywhere on your layout. Ideally, the best place is inside a piece of rolling stock, such as boxcar, which provides a nice speaker baffle for the sound. It can also be placed inside a structure, and for that purpose, a small speaker baffle is included to help amplify the sound. No volume control is included, but the sound level is adequate when properly installed.
    The sound board measures 1.75" x 0.75" x 0.5". The speaker measures 1.75" in diameter, and is about 0.625" tall. The speaker baffle is about 1.625" tall, should it be needed..
    Included with this sound system is the circuit board, speaker, optional sound baffle, on/off switch and double-sided foam tape to help secure the components. As mentioned above, you'll need to supply your own 9-volt battery.
    To install, you'll likely need to drill holes in your item to allow the sound from the speaker to escape, and then secure the board, speaker, on/off switch and your battery with the included double-sided foam tape. Your own hot glue gun may also assist with installation, especially if you install the speaker baffle.
    *** Something worth mentioning:
    Chances are you'll be installing this sound system in an item that wasn't designed to have sound. Because there are so many variables involving the different places you could install these, you’ll need to be somewhat handy to adapt it to your particular installation. (There really is no such thing as an aftermarket "plug and play" sound system.) This will likely include drilling openings for the sound to escape from the item in which you're installing it. Therefore, I can't recommend this for people who aren't familiar with working on their trains. As always, ask if you have questions.
