GMD 12cyl 645C (FT) LokSound Select Retail Soundfiles
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.5.1 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 mehr…
EMD 16cyl 645BC GP16 (FT) LokSound Select Retail Soundfiles
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.5.1 or newer
The Uceta GP16s were the result of a Seaboard Coast Line rebuild program upgrading GP7, GP9 and GP18 EMD locomotives. Unlike the GP10 program which retained a 567 16cyl prime GP16s recieved 645 power assemblies. A 4 stack exhaust was also applied in most cases. Many smaller railroads still use GP16s and it was deemed a rather successful program.
As with all SELECT decoders there are up to 16 separate mehr…
GE 16cyl 7FDL C39-8 (FT) LokSound Select Retail Soundfiles
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
Recorded from a C39-8 with shaft driven Westinghouse compressor.
Introduced in 1984, the C39-8 maintained the clean contours of the long hood and rounded cab roof of the Dash-7 series but featured larger, angular radiator “wings” at the rear of the carbody, an angular low short hood, and a boxy dynamic brake and clean air compartment at the front of the long hood, which jutted above the cab roofline. mehr…
EMD 16cyl 710G3B SD60E (FT) LokSound Select Retail Soundfiles
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
This sound file was recorded from a real SD60E locomotive.
The SD60E program was designed to upgrade 1980's SD60s with current electronic controls and crash-worthiness upgrades in Norfolk Southern's Juniata shops in Altoona PA.
The rebuilds receive a Tier 0+ 16-710G3B prime mover rated at 4,000 hp, compared to the standard SD60's 3,800 hp. Along with the HP upgrade they also recieved all new wiring and mehr…
GE 16cyl FDL Early V3(FT) LokSound Select Retail Soundfiles
Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
Third version of this popular locomotive. This one recorded from a GE U30C
The GE FDL-16 prime mover was first used in 1959 in the General Electric U25B locomotive. Over the years little changed in terms of sound until the "Dash-8" series of GE locomotives was introduced. Known for their throaty chug and shaft driven compressor (rather than the more modern “Whoop” electric compressor) , the following GE mehr…
GE FDL-12Cyl LokSound V4.0 Amerikanische und Australische Geräusche
The GE FDL-12Cyl Prime Mover is different from the 7FDL Prime movers. The 7FDL were used in the "-7" series locomotives. FDL's were used primarily in the "U" Series Locomotives. In most cases the the FDL series was not used in locomotives built from 1977 forward.
Examples can be found in the following prototypes:
U23B, U23C, UD18, U26C, and dual prime mover version U50C

GE 7FDL LokSound V4.0 Amerikanische und Australische Geräusche
There has been mass confusion on the GE 7FDL and GE FDL designations. From our research we have found that the prefix "7" lumps the engine into the GE category of large rotating machinery, the same prefix is used on their Generators and Alternators. The "7" prefix was not used until GE purchased the design from Cooper-Bessemer.” Of course different exhausts, body styles and other factors will cause engines to sound different.

Galloping Goose LokSound V4.0 Amerikanische und Australische Geräusche
Galloping Goose is the popular name given to a series of seven railcars (officially designated as "motors" by the railroad), built in the 1930s by the Rio Grande Southern Railroad (RGS) and operated until the end of service on the line in the early 1950s.
Originally running steam locomotives on narrow gauge railways, the perpetually struggling RGS developed the first of the "geese" as a way to stave off bankruptcy and keep its contract to run mail to towns in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. mehr…
UP Big Boy LokSound V4.0 Amerikanische und Australische Geräusche
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 mehr…
