I have a DC layout (run with a conventional transformer). Can I take one of my standard locos, add a PhoenixP8 and a battery, and split the motor leads so they run both sound and my motor?
Short answer, yes. Follow the installation directions from Phoenix, though. I don’t know how many sounds you can access, it’s been awhile. Whistle and bell can be controlled by reed switches and magnets in the track, if you like.
Yep. The P8 instructions tell you how to do just that.
Thanks very much
Will this also work with the Pb 9 ?
The PB9 was (out of production in 2010) the all in one sound card, DC and DCC… it does everything.
Did you already buy one of these? Still deciding?
