If you want the Sierra sounds to be triggered by remote use a relay output R/C switch, rather than a solid state R/C switch, on any spare channel.
The relays isolate the Sierra from the ESC circuit.

Hi Tony. Looking only at its the operational description, in the link you provided, it sounds similar to the "2 way switcher" that Fosworks list. I have used that successfully on another installation but using a Spectrum R/X, Mac 5 esc and a "My Loco Sound" card. However, that device will not work, specifically noted in the installation manual, with the Rx2 receiver that Fosworks supply to work with their Omni branded T/X. As I understand it most of the Fosworks range is derived/rebranded from the Peter Spoerer range of R/C products. I will raise your suggestion with Steve at Fosworks when I speak to him today. I think the key component is "relay" and I cannot confirm if that bit is present on either of the Fosworks supplied products for this purpose. Max
P.S. As a point of note I dialled the phone number on the back of one of the manuals supplied by Fosworks to get some clarification (I'd in ignorance ordered the wrong switcher for the presently discussed installation , see above) and found I had dialled the number for Peter Spoerer - What I got was a patient recorded message telling me he no longer supplied his R/C equipment range and suggests calling Fosworks, who now market that range
