"Real" Railroad Radio Communications

[Otto Vondrak]

Check out this guys layout, the Pennsylvania Southern. It's a modern themed railroad, lots of industrial action. Listen to the recordings of their operating session. The MP3's are wildly entertaining, and you forget you're listening to a model railroad!

Apparently we're famous.

That wouldn't be too hard to do. We could make a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack, and then just plug it into the microphone port of a computer. Using radios in our room is a little ridiculous though, because of the small space. It really only makes sense during shows, and even then we normally resort to yelling.

Actually using the radios with proper headset gear in our small room cuts down on the yelling. But we'd need functional radios first, I guess.

As far as I know all the radios work, but we have only one or two good headsets.
