And yet, I have Jay Winn's live recordings of the D&H RF-16s, and other recordings, and they sound nothing like Reppo's sounds.
Admittedly, my samples are low-quality and were taken in less than optimal situations, but still they sound really different.
I think the sounds we hear from a working locomotive depend on more factors than just the engine model. I would guess the loco's car body and exhaust configuration has a greater effect than anything else.
In the game I have swapped the sounds from Mannu's FA-1 with those from the RS-11. They probably are not correct, but I couldn't care less: before, they were horrible, now they sound nice.
So my point is, get these RS-3 recordings to Mannu and who cares if they aren't from a PA-1 !
Amen. I want more alcos.
