MTH is constantly improving their soundsets, Thanks!

Joe, what train do the announcements say it is? Is it the 20th Century or Commodore Vanderbilt or some other. I ask because some of the passenger sets offered at the same time as these engines came with a Commodore Vanderbilt drumhead. The later CV ran these cars as well.

My PS3 Metra F40 #135 announces most of the actual station stops on my train route (which is the Union Pacific West line), even the one in my hometown. Not sure how much cooler and personal you can get then that.

I'm a huge fan of MTH, I don't buy anything else to be honest.

I really have to check the rest of the softkeys to see what else they sound like. I spent so much time fighting problems I have to get back to running and having fun with them.

I love MTH myself, but they always manage to mess up Amtrak sound sets somehow. The newest Genesis release has the Phase IVb units making station announcements for trains normally led by P32AC-DMs. This is due to the units originally being advertised with P32AC-DM numbers, but enough people complained about it being a re-skinned P42DC that the units were renumbered from 700 series to 99 and 202. Guess you can change a number but not a sound set. Another goof is the Coast Starlight sound set. The Coast Starlight runs from Seattle to Los Angeles, but no further. The sound set has it go all the way to San Diego. Do your research people!
