*GE 16cyl 7FDL Modern (FT)*
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
In the Mid 1980s GE changed it's 16cyl FDL design to include a different exhaust silencer, a new electric compressor often known as the "Whoop compressor" and changed some of the electronics of their locomotives. These differences among a few other led to a distinct change in the sounds from the GE 16cyl FDL often found from the U25Bs on through the Dash-7 series of the Locomotives.
GE's AC series of locomotives were introducted in 1994. They share the same carbody design and many of the internal components as the Dash-9 series, except they are equipped with AC traction motors instead of the conventional DC versions. The cab air conditioner was moved from the left (conductor's) side walkway to a position under the cab floor to make space for the six traction inverters (one per axle) that supply the AC current to the traction motors.
The "Modern" GE 7FDL 16Cyl Prime mover can be found in the following Locos:
Dash 8-39B
Dash 8 40-B
Dash 8-40BW
Dash 8-39C
Dash 8-40C
Dash 8-40CM
Dash 8-40CW
Dash 8-41CW
Dash 8-44CW
Dash 9-40C
Dash 9-40CW
Dash 9-44CW
C38EMi
C38AChe
AC4400CW
Some AC6000CW were built with 7FDL-16cyls and were later converted to 7HDL-16cyl. Some were never converted. Please refer to the prototype for reference.
Passenger Locos including: P40DC, and P42DC were built slightly different and contained HEP. For these engines plese use Select Sound file (73482) or V4.0 Sound file (74482).

*ALCO 12cyl 251B (FT)*
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
The ALCO 251 prime mover was the most popular and abundant prime mover ever made by the company. While it proved to be quite successful, it sadly outlived its original manufacturer, ALCO who closed their doors in 1969. The 251 prime mover is actually still available to purchase today from Fairbanks Morse for use in Marine, Generator, and locomotive uses.
The 1800 horsepower 12cyl version of the 251B could be found in the following locomotives:
RS-11
RSD-12
RS-18
RS-36
FPA-4
FPB-4
RSC-14
FD-6
FD-7
FD-9
RSD-16
DL-560
44 Class
930 Class
The 2000 Horsepower 12cyl 251C version was extremely close to 251B in the way that is sounded. While we have full intentions to record this in the very near future the 251B is a very suitable substitute. The 12cyl 251C can be found in the following Locomotives:
RS-32
C420
M420
M420B
M420R
M420TR
HR-412
M424
45 Class
442 Class
600 Class
700 Class
A-321
The 12cyl 251 was also used in many rebuilt locomotives including:
RS-3m
C424m
and others...

*EMD 16cyl 645C (FT)*
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
As the EMD 567s got worn, Many Railroads underwent rebuild programs to prolong the life of their locomotives. One Program in particular was the Uceta GP-16 program on the SCL. Starting in 1979 they took many of their GP7s, GP9s, and GP18s and replaced the existing 567 prime movers with 16cyl 645C Power Assemblies. This combination resulted in a unique sound never before released in the Model Railroad Market.
There were a number of these rebuild programs by many railroads. CN Had GP9RMs, The DM&IR had SD-Ms rebuilt from SD9's and SD18's and others. While there were different Exhuast configurations, This file will be very close to the following locomotives:
GP16
FP9U
GP9RM
SD9M
SD-M
GP7U (Some- Check your prototype)
The following locos were rebuilt from 567D Turbo locos, that have been de-turboed and repowered with the 645C Power Assemblies:
GP20E
GP20M
GP35M
GP35R
GP38M
SD18M
SD20-2
SD35R
SD20
**As rebuild programs tend to be unpredictable it is a good idea to check your specific prototype to be sure which prime mover was used.**

MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
The EMD 710 is a line of diesel engines built by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD). Introduced in 1985, the 710 series replaced the earlier EMD 645 series. Since its introduction, EMD has continually upgraded the 710G diesel engine. Power output has increased from 3,800 horsepower on 1985's 16-710G3A to 4,500 horsepower on 2012's 16-710G3C-T2. Over the production span of certain locomotive models, upgraded engine models have been fitted when these became available. For example, an early 1994-built SD70MAC had a 16-710G3B, whereas a later 2003-built SD70MAC would have a 16-710G3C-T1.

The EMD 645 family of diesel engines were designed and manufactured by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. The 645 series was an evolution of the earlier 567 series and a precursor to the later 710 series. The 645 series engines entered production in 1965. All 645 engines utilize forced induction, with either a Roots blower or a turbocharger.

GG-1
The Iconic GG-1 is known around the world as the American Electric Streamliner. Built by GE and the famous Pennsylvania Railroad Altoona Shops the GG-1s were constructed between 1934 to 1943. Operating in a multitude of paint schemes the GG-1s ran on PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, Amtrak, and NJT. Primarily they ran on the North East Corridor between New York City and Washington DC. They did occasionally see service on other electric lines around the north east United States.
Though the GG-1 was relatively quiet compared to its diesel electric cousins our ESU version includes correct GG-1 A-200 Air horns, Proper GG-1 Bells, Sounds of the pantographs going up and down, transformer sounds, traction motor fans, traction motor gear whine, random compressor, new air release and brake squeal sounds, curve squeal, and track sounds.

*FM 6cyl 38D*
One of the last to enter the US locomotive market and one of the first to leave, Fairbanks Morse is a historical manufactur known throughout the wold for their renouned oppsing piston prime movers. Maybe best know for the FM Trainmaster locomotives, Fairbanks Morse is still in business today as a Producer of Marine engines used in ships and submarines.
Not many examples remain and only a few of those are operational in the FM locomotive line. Many of the locomotives that are still running are mere six cylinder versions. FM produced 6cyl, 8cyl, 10cyl and 12cyl locomotives while producing for the railroad market.
Some examples of FM locomotives are:
Erie Builts, C-Liners(built by FM and Canadian subsidiary CLC), H-10-44, H-12-44, CLC H-12-46, H-15-44, H-16-44, H-20-44, H-16-66(Baby Trainmaster), H-24-66(Trainmaster).
Please note:
This file has a special Cold and Failed start that happen randomly. The Cold Start sequeance will happen the first time you turn this on. ONCE IN A WHILE during this cold start sequence the Prime Mover will fail to start and automatically retry. If the prime mover fails to start it is set up to start on the second try. Once started and then turned off a timer will begin. If the engine is started again before this timer expires it will then start with a warm start. If the timer has expired the engine will start the cycle over again with a cold start.
F14 will disable the cold and failed start sequence giving only the warm start option.

*UP Big Boy*
During the late 1930s, the Union Pacific often used helpers to move trains from Ogden to Wasatch. The UP wanted to simplify this move so they asked their "Department of Research and Mechanical Standards" (DoRMS) to design a locomotive that could pull a 3600 ton train unassisted over the 1.14% grade of the Wasatch.
The designers determined that to pull a 3600 ton train, a tractive effort of 135,000 lbs would be needed. Assuming a factor of adhesion of 4.0, the weight on drivers would have to be 4.0 * 135,000 = 540,000 lbs. Given an axle loading of 67,500 lbs each, this would require 8 drivers or an x-8-8-x wheel arrangement. The designers agreed upon the 4-8-8-4 design. Next, the horsepower and cylinder sizes were computed based on 300 psi boiler pressure. Although they weren't planning to pull these freight trains at 80 MPH, the DoRMS designed them for 80 MPH in order to have a sufficient factor of safety built into the design. What resulted is considered by many to be the most successful articulated steam locomotive ever built. 4000 was delivered to Omaha at 6PM, September 5, 1941.
The 25 Big Boys were built in two groups. The first group, called "class 1", were built starting in 1941. They were numbered 4000-4019. The second group, "class 2", were built in 1944. They were numbered 4020-4024. The last revenue freight pulled by a Big Boy was in July of 1959. Most were retired in 1961. The last one was retired in July of 1962. As late as September, 1962, there were still four operational Big Boys at Green River, WY.

*SP Cab Forward*
Cab Forwards were designed to keep the crews from getting asfixiated from smoke while long tunnels. While a few other railroads considered purchasing the design, only the Southern Pacific Railroad ever bought any. Many wheel arrangements were used but most of them were of the 4-8-8-2 design.
Many Cab Forwards also contained a Seperate Air Horn. This Sound Profile also contains the ability to play this horn sound using Function 12. (remappable if desired)
AC-6 through AC-12 Cab Forwards Used a Saturated airpump mounted on the front of the boiler. These had a very distinct sound which we have gone through great lengths to duplicate.

*EMD F40PH*
The EMD F40PH is equipped with a turbocharged EMD 645E3 V16 cylinder, two-stroke Prime mover. A standard F40PH has a gear ratio of 57:20 allowing a top speed of 103 mph (166 km/h). To support passenger service, the F40PH has another electrical alternator known as the head end power unit.(HEP) The HEP unit generates three-phase AC power at 480 V AC, 750 A or about 500 kW to provide power to the passenger cars for lighting, heating, and air conditioning. Originally F40PHs all powered the HEP alternator from the 16-645E3 prime mover; head end power must be delivered to the train at a constant frequency, so the prime mover had to turn at a constant 900 RPM while supplying head end power (even if the locomotive was standing still with the throttle in Idle). Power to the traction motors was controlled by varying the field excitation of the main (traction) generator. If the HEP was turned on the F40PH ran in Notch 8 all the time. Sitting still or moving at full speed. If the HEP was turned off (while switching perhaps) The prime mover went through the notches like normal. Idle through 8.
Our new F40PH sound is that of an as built F40PH with a shaft driven HEP which can be turned on and off accordingly. It also has Stand-by mode which is used in stations to drop the PM enough that the HEP is still able to be used, yet Fuel savings and noise is more control while not moving. One thing to note is that if 2 F40Ph's were on a train only the engine closest to the cars should have the HEP running.
Many of the F40PH's were rebuilt over the years. If by chance you are modeling a Rebuilt F40PH which may have a Caterpillar HEP unit you should not use this file, but rather the F40PH rebuilt/MP36PH-3C file as it will have the proper sounds and sound schedule for that engine.

GE P42
The GE "Genesis" series of Locomotives was developed to be the main locomotives for Amtrak. Amtraks EMD F40PH locomotives were aging fast and GE came to the rescue with a more powerful and more fuel efficient design. Some P42 Locomotives were built with a Dual Mode capability utilizing a 3rd Rail shoe for collecting electricity. These engines run on the North East Corridor on Amtrak and on Metro North. The ESU version is the DC model which is much more common. It can be used to represent the P42s used by Amtrak, Via, NJT and Conn DOT. It can also be used in the non-electrified Areas of Metro North.
The P42 has a Very Specific Sound set. No Generic GE sound is correct for it. We have gone out of our way to make sure the sound we provide is as accurate as possible. We’ve even had the opportunity to take a cab in a P42 and take note of exactly how the engine was operated so that we could produce a sound that is absolutely true to the prototype.
Some the P42 Specific Features include the following:
-E-Bell
-Automatic E-Bell and Flashing Ditch Lights with the Horn
-Awesome LOUD K5LA Amtrak P42 Horn
-Low Idle sounds (when HEP is off)
-P42 Dynamic Brake sounds
-Accurate HEP Sounds with the Prime Mover running about 900 RPM
-Change in sound when HEP is active an heavy load is applied
-Stand By Mode when HEP is active and sitting still (on a function button)
-Auto Crossing Sequence loop with E-Bell and Flashing Ditch Lights (Real P42's have a button on the floor to activate this!)
-Air Dryer sound
-Outstanding "Whoop" Air compressor sounds
-Function outputs AUX 1 and AUX 2 set up for Reversing Red Lights on nose and tail with ability to be turned off separate from the Headlights for prototypical running.
-Function outputs AUX 3 and AUX 4 are set up for Flashing Ditch LightsArticle number(s): 74482, 74582, 74882

GE GEVO-12
GE Evolution 12cyl "Gevo" Locomotives have a 4 stoke diesel engine and have been designed to be more efficient and more emission friendly than previous models. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference, though admittedly there is little sound difference if any between the two.
All Gevos have been delivered with the Nathan-Airchime K5HL air horn. Most if not all have been delivered with a Graham-White 373 E-Bells. This E-Bell is tied to the Horn Circuit in the locomotive and will play automatically when the horn is played. The ESU version also has this new feature. The Bell can be activated by either pressing F1 or by pressing the Horn using F2. The "Auto-Bell" can be turned off by silencing the Auto-Bell sound slot. (CV32-1 then CV323 to a value of 0) Due to the fact that all Gevos have been delivered with the same horn, This V4.0 sound only inlcudes the Nathan K5HLL Horn. If you would like to use other horns you will need to change the horns with the Template Pack.
Another feature of the prototype is "Smart Start" for the sake of both emissions and fuel savings All Gevos have been built with an auto shutdown/Auto Start feature. After the loco has been idle for a period time, the engine will shut down on its own. If the prime mover cools to a certain temperature the loco will automatically start again to keep from freezing. Our ESU version is also equipped with this "Smart Start" feature.
The Smart Start feature will be available for the V4.0 File as a Template Pack upgrade. The 74423 file comes without this feature installed, but using our LokProgrammer it can easily be changed. If enabled after idling for the User Selectable Time the engine will shut down and without doing anything to the throttle it will start again on its own. If at any time during this shutdown mode you would like to run your loco, just turn the throttle slightly and the engine will go through it's start up cycle and then allow you to move it.

ALCO251 Air Start
The Alco 251 diesel engine was developed by the American Locomotive Company to replace the 244 and 539. The 251 Prime mover was Alco’s best selling prime mover. In 1954, the 251 went into production with the inline-6 at Auburn, New York. Ultimately a refined and successful design, the 251 outlived its designer. For a time it was built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works. Today it is still available from Fairbanks-Morse. Examples of the 16-Cyl 251 can be found in the following locomotives:
Air Start Examples: C430, C630, C636,C630M, and Some M630s and M636's
Electric Start Examples: RS-27, RSD-15, RSD-17, C424, M424W, C425, C628, C855, C855B, M630, C636, M636, LRC-2, LRC-3 and HR616.

Shay
The Shay locomotive was the most widely used geared steam locomotive. The locomotives were built to the patents of Ephraim Shay, who has been credited with the popularization of the concept of a geared steam locomotive.
Shay locomotives had regular fire-tube boilers offset to the left to provide space for, and counterbalance the weight of, a two or three cylinder "motor," mounted vertically on the right with longitudinal drive shafts extending fore and aft from the crankshaft at wheel axle height. These shafts had universal joints and square sliding prismatic joints to accommodate the swiveling trucks. Each axle was driven by a separate bevel gear, with no side rods.
The strength of these engines is that all wheels, including, in some engines, those under the tender, are driven so that all the weight develops tractive effort. A high ratio of piston strokes to wheel revolutions allowed them to run at partial slip, where a conventional rod engine would spin its drive wheels and burn rails, losing all traction.
Shay locomotives were often known as sidewinders or stemwinders for their side-mounted drive shafts. Most were built for use in the United States, but many were exported, to about thirty countries, either by Lima, or after they had reached the end of their usefulness in the US.
