Listen closely as the engine goes by. This has the Marx Sound of Power tender that came at about the same time as Lionels Mighty Sound of Steam. The Marx system was simpler and more reliable.
They had no volume control> A little hard to hear out in the open like that, but in a smaller area like a train room, they actually are fairly load. Glad you enjoyed Marx's creation.

People are often quite surprised how well and how simple the Marx system was, and quite reliable, although cleanlines is very important.

The steam sound is pretty loud considering the outdoor breeze & people talking.

You mean, Lionel's "Mighty Sound of Static"? Your Marx sounds pretty good...is there any way to make it louder if you want to?
