@GameBreaker64 posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Lionel's RailSounds had better audio quality than QSI's Q2+ system. Lionel's is definitely muffled, but Q2+ has more of a bitcrushed effect, like some kind of weird amplitude modulation most likely to fit the sounds into the small chip storage.
Well, Legacy RailSounds are top of the heap IMO, especially the steam. I think MTH PS/3 has an edge in the diesel arena, primarily because they don't have a one-size-fits-all prime mover file. All the SD locomotives seem to have the same prime mover, we know that's not really the case.
I actually thought that many of the MTH PS/1 sounds were very high quality, especially for the time period.
