David works to put all the right sounds in all the right places on his Olympia Logging Co. On30 layout. His secret to installing the proper audio effects lies in the PRICOM Dream Player modules and the wide array of sounds samples that fit on a tiny micro-SD card. Follow along to learn David’s pro tips, techniques, and processes!

Another great FREE editing software is Audacity. It is easy to use, but has a lot of nice tools. You can find any number of videos on youtube if you need help. It also can export the audio to many different audio types.
David, this was fantastic!
Great episode David, I am in Australia and would like to know where I can purchase the Dream Player from
Very good series as usual. Really enjoy the videos. Thanks for the info on the switches and harness.
Hi guys,
In case my first post with web links gets hung up in the system, the buttons are Unlincos U16F1 16mm momentary LED pushbuttons (I picked green) and U16C2 sockets for the buttons. Both come from Amazon.
Good luck with the project!
Hi guys,
I had to go back and look at my Amazon order history. Here’s the 16mm momentary contact buttons: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D2B5436/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And here are the sockets for them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I9KDVNK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I hope that helps. And yes, sorry about the volume levels on things. We’ll keep trying to improve on that. Thanks for watching the series!
I am really loving you Olympia series. I have 4 modules and 2 corners. I alos have 2 looping sections for each end ot the layout. Same questions as Artie plus what is the diameter of the pushbuttons and are they SPST? SPDT?
Hi David.
Another great video. I really enjoy the Olympia Series. One small thing. My hearing’s not great, especially when there are a number of sounds going on at once. I found the background music while you were talking (like when you were describing how to set up the sounds) was too loud, and affected my ability to hear you clearly. This happens a lot in movies and on TV as well. I don’t know why “background” music has to be so loud. I suspect there are a lot of older folks watching your videos, and this might be an issue for them to.

Thanks David – another great episode. Quick question – hard to see in the video – what were the part number(s) of the Ulincos push buttons and the quick disconnects?
