To Tell A Story...
You've spent countless hours and dollars of precious Model Railroad time and money (and imagination!) creating a scene along your railroad's right-o-way. You've built structures, and any number of smaller elements, and populated your scene with horses and wagons or cars and trucks, and figures, and composed them into a zillion super details, and tied everything together with scenery to create a moment in time... to tell a story.

That's what we do too! We imagine everything that might make a noise in your scene, and then we go out and collect them. And if we can't find them... we build them from scratch! Every Scale Magic™ scene is built up from 100's of individual prototype sounds, each one designed to work at quiet volume levels, each one cleaned up and edited... and then we compose them together across a real time frame of an hour or more... to tell a story. This composition is symphonic in nature, quieter or more animated at moments, but always something 'there', whenever someone might stumble upon it. And whenever possible, we do this in a funny or humorous way. We scratch build fun.

"A Sense of Place!"
You've built a place, we've built that place too. In the prototype world every 'place' has a distinct way it responds to each and every sound that happens within it! The Enginears understand that our sounds have never never been in the same place before. So we scratch build a single scene image, a Scale Magic™ Image, around everything in your scene. And because we can:), we caricature that image to connect up to full scale ears at subtle, but quite prototypically audible scale volume levels. It's miniature magic, it's a scale model every bit as believable as the visual model it serenades... it becomes 'someplace', and every sound is there... where it belongs.

Sound like BS (blowing steam)? Listen for yourself!

The Scale Magic™ Sound Owner's Manual!
Complete instructions for cheaply, easily, and successfully building, installing, and concealing a scale sound system in your layout with basic modeling tools. The owner's manual is substantial in its own right (over 30 pages with tons of illustrations!), and its got everything you will need to know about the nature of hearing and Scale Magic™ sound, how we created your soundtrack, how and why it works, and how to easily install scale sound into any layout scene. Most importantly, the manual will save you from making the most common mistakes! Its a good idea when working in a new modeling medium. We really do want your experience with scale sound to be fun...

You might also read the manual separately. Learn exactly how Scale Magic™ Sound's proprietary scale imaging works, and how easy and bullet-proof it is to use... before you buy. A great deal of the information in the manual is valuable in any layout sound application, whether you buy a soundtrack from us or not:).

NOTICE! We no longer offer the manual in hard copy (too expensive to print in color and ship!), so for now, PLEASE don't order CD's with the manual (we'll just have to refund $5.00 :)...
