I am running a couple of G scale (Aristo and USA) diesels on my outdoor track using a 75HZ Crest transmitter #55003 , on board receiver #55491, and accessory receiver 55474 to which I have connected Phoenix sound boards.

An even bigger problem seems to be in finding a streetcar sound board which can be connected to the rest of my Crest receivers. Phoenix no longer makes the streetcar sound boards and I’ve been unable to find one. MyLocSounds has a streetcar board but I’ve been made to understand I could use only two of the available sounds with my Crest system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
