Hello Matt !

It would be very appreciated to know what locomotive types are concerned for any given sound set. Just for some of your members who are not that familiar with the many different engine types.

Thanks a million for everything you've been doing so far, by the way !

I generally include that kind of info either in the name or the readme of the set... In this case, the Alco251 set would probably suit any freight Alco you have...

Another classic example is the EMD710 set... It says this in the readme--

Sounds most accurate for the following diesels--


GP50 diesels (ATSF, BN, NS)
SD50 diesels (CR, CN, CNW, CSX, DRGW, NS, SCL)
GP60 diesels (ATSF, NS, SP)
SD60 diesels (BN***, CR, CN, CNW, SOO**, CSX, NS, UP)
SD70 diesels (BN [BNSF], CN, CSX, NS, SP, UP)
SD80 diesels (CR)
SD70ACe/SD70M-2 diesels (CSX, all other roads)
SD9043MAC diesels (CPR, UP)

As well as any rebuilds or other variants of those models.



**SOO Line used the same type of horn on some of their SD60s that SP used on their GP60s, and that CNW used on their SD60s. Your SOO SD60s will be accurate if you alias them to the SP GP60 sounds or the CNW SD60 sounds.**

***Oakway Leasing SD60s will be accurate if aliased to the BN SD60 sounds.***

Hope that helps...

I knew as soon as you said there was going to be a surprise upload, there was some Alco sounds coming. I just deleted the Beta Alco sound, hooked in the new ones, and am running four CP M's over the D&H with an acid train. Thanks a million Matt!

I can't find the 710 sound pack. I have no idea where it even went. And I can't find on your site matt. I would love to get my hands on it so I can run your amazing CSX SD70ACe Units.

How close is the 251 sound to the 244? COuld the 251 be used in an RS-1, or 3?
Thanks

That should take care of some of your questions. It would not be accurate for 244 equipped engines.

thanks for your reply, bessemer. Do you know of any 244 sound sets out there?
