I've heard them both and I think RailSounds is the next best thing to a real one.

Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.

I have locos with both. It seems to me Railsounds has better whistle control and whistle sound.
I'm not fond of MTH's station sounds either. I feel that the operator should determine the name of train he wants to operate not MTH! It's too limiting. It's my own opinion the station sounds should come from the station and not the locomotive. Same for Lionel's sounds in their dining cars.

Both systems have pros and cons to them. It is really subjective. Best bet is to go to a local hobby store and listen to both of them. I prefer Railsounds. I think Lionel does a better job at sound repoduction with the dual fatboy speakers. MTH offers more sounds but I do not think they are as good quality. But let yourself be the judge.
