Alan, as technically inclined as you are, it's hard to believe you run your trains without sound. :o

Two reasons really. The majority of my roster is Fairbanks Morse 1,500 and 1,600 HP. No files available nor is there likely to ever be. An opposed piston motor sounds like no other. I grew up listening to it. That makes prime mover sound substitution out of the question for me. Even if files were available I find the tonal qualities of on-board sound totally inadequate and toy like. To my ears it misses the mark by so much I would rather do without and let my imagination fill in the silence. No disrespect meant to sound users. It's a personal thing.
OP FMs are still in service in stationary applications. I have entertained thoughts of recording one and then MUing modules together, one in the loco and the other on a pair of headphones. Solves the tonal quality problem but is not without its own challenges.
