What sound packs would be appropriate for the RSC SW1500?

Harry,
The SW1500 has the same prime mover as the GP38-2 the EMD 645 with a roots blower.

I personally think the SW1500 and F7 default have great sounds. Its the horns and lack of ambiance that gets me.

The SW1500 sounds don't make it for me.

Totally understandable. I think the quality is good, especially the stack talk they have, but if I'm looking at it from your point of view. There's no environmental feel to them. No soul. Have you run the RS11? That has great feel to it. Track groaning, squealing, clacks, thundering, etc.
The one thing I really like in the SW1500s though that does add a real feeling is the rattling in the cab. That is a very much real thing, especially as the old goats get wore out.

We were talking about the engine and other sounds.
