The MTH sound file for the whistle is pretty close: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...48#86606266967139248

Yes and that's the one I will probably put in with the upgrade. It's nice. Chuff's kind of eh, but it will have to do.

Mine sounds pretty good. I bought it with the conversion done. The installer put in an upgraded speaker and baffle. I'm not sure what speaker it is but it's larger than the factory speaker in my other two PS2 3V steam locomotives. It has more bass and is noticeably louder than the factory locomotives. The whistle at the 100 sound setting will hurt your ears. I run it at 70% volume max. 

You are very lucky to have that one already upgraded so well. Wish mine was like that. Not to be a pest, but would you mind sharing a photo of the inside of your tender when you have a moment? I'm just curious to see how yours was done under the hood (not the engine, just the tender). If you're not comfortable opening it up and photographing it, I totally understand.

Also, does your bigger speaker stay clear even at max volume?

It may take a week or two (I'm a bit busy right now) but I'll pull the tender shell off and take a picture for you.

Actually the first thing I did when I bought it was pop the tender and locomotive shells off, to make sure everything was wired correctly .
