Sounds on the horizon
CPRail:
Bill,
I've thought of that as well, but I have no idea how to go ahead with the recording. Thoughts?

Now the question is how will those source recordings be used. A lot of the final product comes down to editing and how the software uses the sound. Hopefully Tim is able to utilize these recordings to their full potential.

On a given day in the world of audio, RailPro would be probably be classed at the bottom end but when RPA creates a sound it is doing something that I don't fully understand yet that seems to create good sound from low quality. I know how many bits per sample and how many samples per second there are utilised for the sound files yet the format evades me. Lot's more study needed.

You could do that, and you don't need (or want) a microphone either however the resultant recordings may not be what you expect, and you have a lot of editing ahead. Since Bill has put his hand up I'll let Bill handle it.
I did go to Rapido's website to see if I could find out what decoder they used; I had to laugh very loudly when I came across their decoder page, where they mentioned the "special" 8 ohm speaker they included. Nothing special about it; 90% of the world would know it's nothing but an iPhone 4S speaker ::)

This will be welcome news to all of us diesel users, as the current Railpro prime mover files leave a lot to be desired.
