Good Clear Locomotive Prime Mover Sounds for AC4400CW

[meeshu]

I am currently using locomotive prime mover sounds from file mlwfdl16.zip downloaded from the file library here for my AC4400CW locomotives.

But I am not really happy with these sounds as they appear to be somewhat distorted/muddled and hardly represent the actual locomotive sounds that were expected.

Is/are there better AC4400CW locomotive prime mover sounds available (preferably freeware), please?

I would suggest downloading the Train Simulations Starter route, as the locomotives come with a superb set of FDL engine sounds.

Thanks for the suggested alternative prime mover sounds.

The Train Simulations GE locomotive sounds seem to be a bit better overall, but the run 2 wav sounds like a swish swish swish . . sound which is way off on what I expected to hear.

So, is/are there any other AC4400CW locomotive prime mover sounds which are (far more) realistic?

Nash has some awesome FDL 16 sounds. You can find them in this package.

I'm such a dope, I forgot Nash released his FDL sounds publicly! Sorry about that.

But yes, Nash's sounds are some of the best out there.

Thanks for the comments.

I've tried the "Nash" locomotive engine sounds. These are pretty good overall, but there is a noticeable high frequency (hiss) component especially for the mid and low engine rpms which is somewhat distracting. I could run these wave files through a filter to minimize or even remove the high frequency hiss components, but I don't really want to modify wave files unless absolutely necessary.

I have just found good alternative engine sounds from my old computer from file named MC_AC44V3SoundSet_021709.zip. I think this file was downloaded years ago from https://mclw.proboards.com. So for the moment I'm using the MC engine sounds (which seem to be fairly realistic) for the AC4400CW locomotives.

Hi meeshu,
Those sounds are still available from that website, but you have to have been a member in its 'hey-day' and use your name and password to download them!

Cheers,

Hi Ged,

I've just managed to register for that site and I could then immediately log on and download a couple of sound sets

Hi Nick,
On that site, I read something about new registrations not being accepted, but that's good news, mate
Thanks.

Cheers,

Ged and Nick,

The sound set in question is also available in the F/L here, within this pack of Matt Florack's updated sound sets.
