[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jacon12 . I'm a little hesitant about getting the bli now. One would think that a company that kinda specializes in sound locos wouldn't use a 'generic' sound for that many of their locos. Jarrell [/quote] Just to comment on the BLI sounds. They use generic sounds on all of their steam except for the whistles. The chuff is identical for the conventional engines without any changes and the articulated chuffs are a copy of their articulated sound. Steam locomotives really had different sounding exhausts because of their stack size and smokebox arrangements, but it is hard to duplicate in HO scale size speakers. The 4 beat characteristic sound is always present, but not as pronounced as the BLI sound in certain engines. We have to realize this is a model and it is a hobby. The SD40-2 diesel sound without the turbo is really inexcusable, but it does make noise. The horn is another issue since different railroads used their choice of horns and that one is up for grabs.
