Generic 3-axle soundset coming soon!

Dustin, why not keep both and mix them up?

One thing I learned working for the railroad is that cars and locomotives did not all sound (or look) alike once you got to know them better. (It's that way with people too!)

One striking example: We had 7 GP9's. But one, an ex SP rebuild, would pull noticeably harder than the others. It sounded better too. This caused interesting results when it was MUed to another GP9. You'd get a kick as it applied it's power at an uneven rate against the other. This was magnified when we had one at each end of a train with slack in between.

So far I have the new sounds setup for use with the CPR heavyweight sleepers that were rebuilt with fluted sides for the Canadian. I like the original Milw sounds so I restored them after messing around for a few hours. Hard decision to make on which ones to use? I might set my NP and GN cars for use with the new sounds? I have not decided yet.

I suggest leaving the 2-axle cars alone and using the new sounds on the three-axle cars, obviously. Also, you can give some cars the three-axle soundset and leave the others alone.

Yes, my intentions too when creating the set - was that people with a good collection of heavy weights and supplied sounds for them could use these in conjunction. Although I did offset each SMS slightly to give variances in sound for each coach, and those that like using them all for a particular consist or all their HW stock is fine. But I think the realism comes from interspersing this sound set with existing ones. That's what I do for most of my personal modern 2 axle gear as well.
