Small and simple is not the normal LGB mogul sound unit!!
Original was 2 boards stacked in the tender.
Next was a board with super caps (no battery needed) in the tender.
Possibly the 6500x series, but this did not have a 9 volt battery connector.
So, I am not sure what you found, a picture would be very helpful here.
There was a toytrain tender that had what you described for a board, but it had random sounds.
