MTH passenger/freight yard sound effects

Typically, MTH DCS engines (PS2 and PS3) have one and only one of the following: Freight Yard Sounds, Passenger Station Sounds or Transit Station Announcements. I've never encountered any PS2 or PS3 engine that has more than one of these.

Since you didn't include your engine's MTH item numb and the only RF&P Berkshires I found on their site are #20-3292-1 and #30-1436, I can only assume that one of these PS2 engines is the one to which you're referring.

If so, the site clearly states "Proto-Sound 2.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Freight Yard Proto-Effects" for both of these engines.

Where does it state that it also has Passenger Station Sounds?

Barry,

I understand his confusion.  He said he had a PS3 Berkshire and 30-1631-1 is a PS3 RF&P.

On the features tab, 4 bullets below where it says...

Proto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Freight Yard Proto-Effects

It then says...

Passenger Station/Freight Yard Sounds

I know the 1st feature is truly what it has, but I can understand how some would confuse this.

Too many typos or error because of cut an paste.  As Barry states it is one or the other. But if another model has Passenger it can be loaded instead.  So you really can pick and choose.  Especially with higher volume units like a Berk or Hudson.  G

Thanks everyone.

yes it is a new PS3 imperial Berkshire.. I'm going to look into downloading that fiLe. Thats very cool. Again thank you for the help!

"Steam DCC Features" ... "Passenger Station/Freight Yard Sounds"

That's a generic statement under the list of DCC capabilities. It's the same list for pretty much all PS3 steamers. It means that one the other is available under DCC for all PS3 steamers.

Shoot, being the first MTH engine I've ever purchased, it just looked like it came with both because of the way it's worded. Thank you for clearing this up for me! I think they should change the verbage to match what comes with it tho, but it sounds like I can get it taken care of to do what I want. Either way, we are enjoying the berk. My 3 year old likes to say "all aboard!" Thru the mic
