I remember seeing something in a previous post about someone printing these, but I can't get the search function to work either.
There is no DCC without sound option on the latest run. You would have to get all sound units to have them run together or decoder equip some of...
One thing that worked for me in the past was putting a small drop of Solvaset decal solution in the lower track and letting it dry. I don't know...

Ironically when I got to the bottom of this page there was a Wheels of Time ad there. I have quite a few of their products and all are first-rate...
