[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by maandg I I wish I would have waited until the new Genesis sound versions came out. However, I'll probably bite the bullet and get a set of the Broadway Limited F-units when they come out. I have over 40 engines with sound now and I've become ADDICTED to it!!! [/quote] The sound in the F units probably will be as good as the Challenger sound. It that is true, the F units will use a generic sound that does not represent an F unit, but might sound like an ALCO or Baldwin switcher. I hope they actually work with the sound people this time., but don't expect it. I emailed Athearn after the 3985 came out, and they did acknowledge my email and passed it on, but no change came about. I guess they think a NYC Hudson whistle is correct for the UP engine, along with the single puffing and all of the other problems that come with it. The 2nd release Challenger sound imissed the mark with the same sound as the first release. there is not excuse today not getting it at least close to real, when the 3985 is available for recording the true sounds.
