RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: Old Dynamic Brake Sound File?
« Last post by CPRail on January 06, 2026, 09:08:29 AM »Hey Bill,
I don't use the HC Simulator as the computer is upstairs and across the house from where they layout is located. Far too many house related items (main beam, floor joists, ducts, wiring, etc. between the computer and the layout for a CI to work.
I could download the HC Simulator if there is a way to get the sound file from it to the physical handheld?

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Old Dynamic Brake Sound File?
« Last post by CPRail on January 05, 2026, 03:58:35 PM »Happy New Year Group!
With our new computer, I needed to re-download a bunch of sound files and I inadvertently downloaded BOTH of the available Dynamic Brake sound files. While the DASH 8 version is nice for the newer stuff, in watching old videos of SP power battling the mountains, that droning noise that was the old file still has a use. So I went and uploaded the old file to a loco - to my surprise it was the same as the DASH 8 sound file.
I have a couple of locos with the old file still on the module, is there a way to copy the file from the module to the hand-held or RP Assistant so I could then copy it to new locos? Or does someone still have the old file and I could make a custom file?

look at one side... all counterweights should be the same "o'clock" , no relationship to the other side needed.
check for loose drivers too..
run it slowly on rollers and look for a "hitch in it's get-along"

Companies like Google notice that from searches by humans.
Get enough searches, and Google launches BOTs to crawl the site to keep current.
Saves time which is money for Google... it's all about the dollars.
Look at my site: right now it shows 780 "people" on my site... those are mostly BOTs scanning my site (25 million hits) on elmassian.com
