Reply to "Daylight and Big Boy upgrade decision"

I’ve been reading the comments on the choice in sound files, and ERR does make a Daylight/steam locomotive with horn sound package.

The whistle is pretty much the same as the first Legacy FEF-3, with the addition of a horn sound.

Right. This was sort of the issue from the beginning. If that Daylight sound file just had the same whistle and chuff as the Large Steam (close enough for Daylights or J Class) - I would have been just fine with that and called it a day. The fact that it sounds exactly like that FEF which I had (and will replace) is bothersome. It doesn't sound correct for a Daylight. This was how the whole discussion of putting Large Steam in my Daylight and the ERR Daylight file in the water tender began - to allow me to get the air horn and daylight announcements out of the water tender, and the Large Steam sound package in the daylight at the same time while running together with TMCC lash up...

From there a lot of cool ideas came about in the discussion and eventually gave me the idea to do something with a generic black water tender that will have the Large Steam sound file for any lacking steam engine it runs behind. I am going to go the route of doing a PS32 upgrade on my Daylight it seems at this point.
