WOW, what a findphilipy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 8:53 pm I think that further back in this old thread, Steve was asking about where to get appropriate sound files.
I've just found out that BBC archive sound effects recordings are available for FREE download for personal use!
You can download lots of Steam Train Sound Effects from the BBC Sound Effects web-site. They have released them Free To Use for private purposes only. The easiest way to find them is to Google 'BBC Sound Effects' then type 'Age of Steam' in the search box on the web page and select 'Transport' in Category.
There is a whole batch of recordings made at Blaenau Festiniog and various others if you search for "Narrow gauge", for example:

Quickly flicking through, there all sorts of odd topics, including empty tunnels, Oxford Circus, bicycles, ....
Hi Rik, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd like! Just something simple and fun, rather than needing anything complicated.ge_rik wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:05 pm Sounds like you want a DF mini MP3 player module:

and a simple keyfob remote :

You'll also need batteries and a speaker, plus a micro SD card and download a relevant sound file.
Should be doable for around £15 (or less if you get them directly from China with AliExpress)

PS - Not tried it myself but willing to give it a go if you want a guinea pig
