Sounds on the horizon
KPack:
In addition to what Bill posted, I also received a reply today for the question "what are you planning to do":

I have no idea what they have in mind, but it sounds intriguing. I will be patiently waiting.

Hi Kevin, How you doing? It's been a long time since I have talked with you.
Have you heard anything more on new sounds from Tim? While them EMD and GE sounds are going to be great, I really need some Alco 244 and 251-12 and 251-16 sounds. The Alco sounds are really lagging behind with RailPro.

I've been asking Tim for the Alco 244 for years, so he's aware of it.
KPack:
Kenny - One of our members submitted recordings for the Alco 12-251 and 16-251 (with air starter). These recordings are from the same place the new GEVO sound file came from, so they should be excellent. These are recorded from actual locomotives though I am not sure if the Alco's were under load or not.
Getting new prime movers out takes a while. And I'm sure it's not easy for Tim to try and figure out which prime movers to work on first. He has modern guys like me, steam fans, and transition-era people that are all clamoring for sounds for their era. And the work that goes into a prime mover file is pretty substantial. If you have tried to do a good loop for a horn sound file, you know how frustrating and time consuming that can be. Now do that for all 8 notches and have everything be seamless so there are no auditory artifacts.
I'm glad that Ring is doing the prime mover editing themselves, though I wouldn't be opposed to them farming out some of it to Railpro fans who have a knack for audio editing. I'm sure there are a few of us who have the appropriate skills and who would be more than happy to help with editing if it gets the files out faster. Anyone want to volunteer?

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I am very comfortable with Adobe Audition.
