So ESU doesn't have a Berkshire sound file for the Select. What other engine does the Berk sound the closest to? Would the 2-8-2 sound file sound close enough?

Hi, Alax
Which railroad's Berkshire are you trying to emulate? ESU has several that would be close, even one that says "Steam: four driven axles"
If I were going to gamble I'd go with this one even though a U2g is a 4-8-4

Have fun! Ed

The Select has 4 prime mover sounds on one decoder. I am sure if you put the Heavy steam sound set in you can customize the prime mover sounds to approximate what you are looking for. If you have a programmer it is a lot easier to do. Even though the diverse sound set has a 2-10-0 prime mover advertised I instead used the Heavy steam for the large Decapods the PRR had. I also used the same sound sets for the K5s Pacific. So far I have 5 Select decoders with only 2 different sound sets and each sounds different from one another. I have 2 in 2-10-0 locos. One has a coast to coast tender and the other is smaller as built tender. They are both set up the same but just the size difference in tenders makes a huge change in tones. I am still waiting for the PRR sound set to come out.
