Been pondering the idea of upgrading my old 20-3029-1 Mike’s GS-4, and I finally realized what I want to do about it. I’ve heard the MTH sound files for GS/4, both the PS2 3v with/without air horn and PS3s... I like most of the whistles, but the chuff does nothing for me on any of them - and since the chuff is a constant when running - it shouldn’t lack.

I suspect the reason you are not impressed with the chuff on the PS3 version might have more to do with the speaker and its lack of enclosure than the sound file. PS3 uses 4 ohm speakers. There are many high quality 2" drivers out there when coupled with a decent enclosure will come close to the best Legacy chuff sounds. If there is't enough room in the lead tender there will be plenty of room in the water tender.

For DIY'selfers this is a $200 upgrade with PS3 and driver.
