New GE locomotive sound FX from Jointed Rail

[Firefighterdan]

I was just wondering if anyone noticed JR put up new sound fx for locomotives. Here is a little sample of a BNSF Dash 9 sitting idle.

Those sounds are relief valves discharging moisture from the air system.

That's alot of moisture it must be. GE engines sound like a big box of constantly short circuiting electrical wire boxes.

That's the kuid number underneath the new locomotive sound effects library v1.08c (build 2.9).

They've also updated the train effects library to v1.30 kuid2:45324:555200:19.

They only did these on 7th February, you have to keep up with these new developments chaps, otherwise, you'll be missing out on all the new whooping sounds.....:hehe:

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

I think the EMDs are also doing the compressor thing too.

I did not test the sounds on other locomotives. I like the Dash 9's so much, I pretty much just run those. :hehe:

I cannot disagree about the Dash 9's, they are nice. I use the SP and CNW / ex CNW units when in the GE mood.

If the other locos use the same FX library the sounds should be their. That popping noise is the automatic water purgers in the air system. They are meant to keep the moisture out of the air system and yes they pop off that often. It's just adding a little more realism to the JR locos.:Y:

Oh, come on now! Not GE! :hehe: I'd favor more of the EMD SD70ACe myself...

I'll have to start checking up on these things updating. The 7FDL sounds are awesome!
