The MRC Symphony 77 Sound Station was a complete surprise when I received it. The quality is much less than is typically expected when one purchases a product from MRC. The way they advertise their system, you almost come away with the understanding that the sould level on this thing would really blast out the railroad sounds when it's just the opposite of that. The sound would be compared to the golden era of the pocket transistor radio. I was extremely disappointed with this purchase. Even the quality of the materials used in the hand unit & speaker boxes is much less than one expects from MRC as well. If you're looking for simple train sounds & not that particular about realism, I guess this Symphony 77 would work however, if you're looking for "true to life" prototypical sound, the MRC Symphony 77 doesn't cut it!
I would say the manufacturer needs to rethink the MSRP on this product because in my opinion, it's only worth about $24.99 & I'd be hard pressed to pay that once I heard the unit. Sorry, but MRC has failed in design & quality with this product & it just isn't up to the good quality standards one expects to receive from MRC model railroad products. I'd have to give this about a 2.5 to 3.0 rating out of 10 for performance & durability. I personally would not recommend this item to any of my serious model railroading buddies. As a starter system for someone who isn't that particular with sound, I guess this product would work but... I feel even at that the MRC Symphony 77 is over-priced for what you receive. You really blew it this time MRC, sorry but I gotta give it the "thumbs down" award.

With its two large speakers and powerful amplifier, the handheld controller allows you to awaken your locomotives like never before. Its eight foot cable gives you maximum mobility around your track.

From over your shoulder, you hear a conductor yell, "All aboard!" and then almost immediately a fast moving freight rumbles through in front of you. Plug and play simplicity makes it easy for the beginner. The range of functions make it perfect for the seasoned railroader to conduct a symphony of sounds. It's all here in MRC Symphony 77! More than 25 different sounds, with many breathtaking sound-on-sound combinations, and controllable speed rates for diesel and steam.
