The other problem is a permanent humming sound from ESU (sound and none sound) decoders (most people don't hear it at all). It is like living next to a power transformer during a silent night to me.
I am afraid the sound decoders will have another dormant session in the cabinet soon....
A bell and horn circuit with speaker are installed under the layout and have two push buttons in the fascia. That is the better choice for me to keep me busy as the engineer without giving up the excellent Zimo decoders.
However, that should not be generalized because I am very sensitive to noise and have the hearing capability of a child.
