- Compatible with HO and O scale locomotives depending on available space
- High-quality sound with up to 10 simultaneous channels

You have two options: you can tell us what model of locomotive you have (e.g., EMD SD40-2, MLW M630) and we will select the right file for you, or you can give us the item number (e.g., S0821) of the sound file you want from the ESU website.
To let us know your choice, simply add a note in the "Comments" section when entering your payment details at checkout, or send an email referencing your order number to info@modelebt.com.
