I Need Some PS-2 Steam Soundset Suggestions

If you upload a hudson soundset it will have a passenger soundset. MTH has used different trains ans locations for hudson sounsets. The same whistle is used for most, not many choices there.

Well, I'm not limiting this to Hudsons. It doesn't have to be prototypical for me. Great sounds, I'll have it put in.   Interesting, though, that the Hudsons are all passenger.

Well, If your engine is a NYC Hudson, not a whole lot of different choices. I don't think you would want a PRR Atlantic sound set! If you like the Crossing signal command, that only comes with some of the more recent releases. Maybe a Mohawk (4-8-2) freight loco might fill your need if you want a freight PFA. The Niagara has the same whistle as the Hudson, and a passenger PFA. One of my favorites is the streamlined 20th Century Limited, but that is a 5 volt system and does not have the SXS command.

Maybe one of the recent Railking 4-8-4's.

Maybe GGG can make some other suggestions

Chuck, I was thinking Premier Mohawk from 2010.  Passenger and quillable whistle feature.  G

I've been listening to some of these engines on Youtube and MTH has a few soundbites on selected models.    Here is a K Line Hudson upgrade to PS2.....sounds real good. Does anyone recognize which engine soundset this is?  Some of the Hudsons have a fast bell....this one is slower (which I would prefer).

The video has a NYC Hudson soundset, De Witt Clinton was a NYC passenger train. Should be easy to find. I forgot when I posted, but a excellent soundset is from a Tinplate 249e loco, I loaded it my Tinplate Commodore Silver Streak set. Totally awesome whistle to my ears, be sure to check that soundset out when loading soundsets to check out. It is 11-6010-1

Chuck,

I appreciate your advice on this thread. Yep, it's a Hudson.....problem is....the newer Hudson soundsets seem to have a fast, annoying bell sound. So, I'm not sure which one this is. MTH is not user friendly for Mac users, so sound sampling outside of Youtube is not an option for me. I'm hoping someone recognizes the engine set. But GGG had a nice one as well with the Mohawk. Some I've heard have almost a PW whistle screech, though,  at the end of a whistle blow. Not sure about that. But I've got time.

I'm going to try and find a 249e on Youtube as per your suggestion.

Thanks!

Roger

GGG:  It's being upgrqded to PS2.  Is quillable whistle on PS2 upgrade kits?

Roger1, the Rail King Mohawk 4-8-2 of a few years ago has excellent sounds  [How MTH can call my SOU 4-8-2 a Mohawk I don't know---I's call it a Mountain.]

No,  But I keep a few boards flashed for QW in stock.  That way if some one has an engine board failure (5V or 3V) I can repair and provide the QW feature.  Bigboy, Challenger, Heavy Pacific, J, Mohawk, etc...  Obviously they all are Premier sound sets with this feature in PS-2.  I have done it for N&W J, and a brass conversion.  Be nice if this feature could be added to more engine types, but apparently it is labor intensive and the sounds guys are working on the new production stuff.   G
