I've collected a number of ESU 5 Fx decoders in anticipation of the arrival of Rapido's Bi-level cars. It was finally time to put them to good use. I had planned to just program the lighting features for each car, but I came across Christoper Balestri's Etobicoke Central Railways blog post about his sound project for these GO Transit cars. After a couple emails and an exchange of a few (Canadian) dollars, I had the sound file and began downloading the project onto the decoders.
