MTH Sounds

I used the Imperial RK PRR Turbine sound set when I upgraded my 3rd Rail S-2 Turbine. I found that setting the chuff rate very high, maybe 10+ gave a more continuous whoosh as opposed to a chuff. I don't remember the exact rate that I settled on, but I recommend that you experiment. I am very satisfied with the results.

I just did this upgrade also.  If you search the MTH Web and click on the Sound File links, you will see different files, there are quite a few.  Most are for the Bantam version.  There is only one RK full size version sound file and it is the one Chug mentioned.  The PSA sound bite is interesting!  G

This has been discussed before. The turbine is not susposed to chuff. There are two sets of sound files, a 5 volt version and a 3 volt version for 5 and 3 volt systems. The 5 volt version chuffs and the 3 volt does not. The last I heard MTH did not wish to change the 5 volt version. Maybe somebody knowing more will comment.

I always get confused.  Is the 3V or the 5V the one that works with the upgrades?  I downloaded r061pf3_s2turb_prr060201efin.mth.  This is for a 6-8-6 Imperial S-2 Turbine, PRR Cab #6200, 30-1395-1.  I believe it is a 3V file.  I'll try to upload it to my Engine tonight.  Thanks to everyone who replied!

3 volt.

Only the smaller Bantam was made in a 5V configuration.  The imperial (RK sized) was delivered as a 3V.  Because it came as a 3V there is no need for a converted 5V file.  The file you listed is the version to use for a RK conversion.  G

As I indicated in my previous post; you must select a high chuff rate if you want a continuous whooshing sound and don't be misled by the term "chuff". You can use the same approach to raise the rpms on the MTH diesels too.
