Introducing the Phoenix Thunderstorm...
    Add excitement to your layout with the Thunderstorm by Phoenix. The Thunderstorm is a storm simulation system so realistic you will think you should feel the rain! The thunderstorm creates a storm environment which runs continuously once begun, during this time many single and multiple thunder and lightning strikes occur.

    The Thunderstorm operates on 12-30V AC or DC and a dramatic Lightning Strike event may be triggered by the push of a button - either the physical button in the unit or a DCC function button from your cab. The thunderstorm has tremendous output, utilizing the Phoenix BigSoundTM P8's amplifier technology. But just in case you are truly ambitious and want to truly feel the thunder, we equipped this unit with an audio output to drive an external amplifer or powered speaker. We connected it to a powered subwoofer and were blown away - figuratively, and nearly literally.
