Read this review from Model Railroader

From the growl of the turbocharged 539 diesel engine to the bleat of the single-chime air horn, this HO scale Alco S-2 captures the sounds of its prototype. This Bachmann SoundValue model has a simplified version of a SoundTraxx Digital Command Control (DCC) decoder. The accurately detailed and proportioned locomotive features realistic sound on direct-current (DC) as well as DCC layouts.
