Scaletrains Reefer cars

[Orlando]

Hello yall, hopefully everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone has converted the scaletrains reefer cars to battery operated sound due to poor track rolling. I would be open to convert my 4 cars if anyone has an Idea to how to do this. I have never done something like this or have knowledge of doing so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Orlando

You could probably just add a keep-alive to them.

Thanks Bill, I will look into that option.

I have some and I love the cars.  But I realized that I actually don't like the sound option at all.  I found it obnoxious and monotonous, plus it was annoying when it cut off and on over switches.  So I'll probably just cut the wires to the speaker so I can still have the lit control board.

Hey Orlando, I can install batteries for you on your cars if you’re interested!

Sorry for such a late reply, but I’ve been working nights. I appreciate the offer, but I’m looking into installing this on my own. I’m just trying to figure out. Where can I find the PCB boards that could power the sound board and could take a charge for the battery?

Thanks
