@Norton posted:Its one thing to have unique whistles and chuff sounds. Another to have specific road names and cab numbers mentioned. They could use the same sound set for all the SP GS 2-6 engines if cab numbers are not mentioned. No doubt some varied and Jack will point that out but for most of us if they duplicate 4449 it would be close enough for the rest.

Absolutely agree. All they need is a good generic EMD 710 prime mover sound set they could use across SD60s and 70s, and a good 645 prime mover sound set for use in SD40 and 50 series. Then get a basic set of Leslie and Nathan horn recordings and they'd be set to be as accurate as anyone but the most rivet-counter types would need for all these modern O scale EMD. This is exactly what MTH has done, and the reason why I've honestly been buying more of Mike's stuff lately, even though I tend to prefer the operating characteristics of Legacy.
But one generic "EMD-ish" sound and a generic "5-chime" horn to use across everything from a 1960's Southern SD45 to a 2010's BNSF SD70 is just going too far for me.
