I tend to agree with NH Bill. I live in Yonkers, NY & for 23 years of my life I lived 75 yards from Ludlow train station. I saw & heard trains every day growing up, commuter & freight... my dad still lives there. Through the 60's to the 80's a lot of freight activity passed by. From NYC, Penn Central, Conrail to CSX & still some late evening freights today. I'll stop almost every time to watch a freight pass by, count the cars & listen to the sound. To some, the low rumbling, clickity clack & flange squealing may be too much, but for me... I'm 10 years old again & I drift into my never ending fascination with trains. I love the sounds of our trains, thank you Lionel & MTH! Although the sounds have come leaps & bounds from the simple early attempts, there is still something missing.
I've attached some youtube videos below, 3 from popular train watching spots near Bear Mountain, NY & West Point, about an hour from me. The last 2 are of an incredible scale 2 rail RR. Hard to beat that realism! Not sure why Lionel or MTH couldn't replicate that.
Enjoy!
