Enginesound for unpowered vehicles

Pendolino

Cab mode weirdo
Is it possible to add an enginesound to a unpowered vehicles, such as passenger coaches or freight cars? Does Trainz allow this?

A fellow Trainzer made a series of coaches as locomotives to add enginesounds, and everything works fine. The sound of brakes as the train slows down before stopping is wonderful.

Such a solution, however, prevents the performance of "run around train" commands, as there is no train (i.e. unpowered vehicles) to run around, as the whole train is considered as a dozen MU'd locomotives.

I have changed the config files of the coaches to make them unpowered vehicles (tag engine = 0) and we had mixed results: I hear the sounds perfectly, but I am the only one, as my friend and another betatester hear nothing :(.

I have searched the various CCG as well as Trainz Online, with no results.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide us with some clue...
 
Yes it is possible. I have a few coaches and wagons which have sounds. On some of them, the sounds are added to the vehicle itself, and on others the sounds is attached to the bogie/trucks.

In both cases the sounds are added using the soundscript container, and controlled by a script.
