not really. Except, The thought of having a diesel sound unit and a separate horn <br />, provided the horn part was small, could have some nice advantages. If you read their web site they say that they could do a custom sound unit if you provide them with a good quality recording. Most locomotive's engines sound close enough (meaning most gp-9s sound like any other gp-9) but the horns can differ eventhough the are the same type. I can remember many times hearing a locomotive that had a bad or out of tune horn. It was fun to hear those because you could say "oh here comes old 2415" because you could tell by the odd horn. I have many soundtraxx sound equipt diesels and I get tired of them all sounding the same. I'm not complaining, I love having sound locomotives and it's way better than nothing. But it would be nice to have some varitiy. If you could mix horns or record your own and add it in a locomotive that would be kind of nice. <br /> <br />But that just brings up another thought. I think that soundtraxx could record all different types of horns, ie...10 different leslie 3 chimes, 10 different nathan 3 chimes, 10 different nathan five chimes, and so on, and have a CV that you could program to pick the one you want. They offer that feature on their LC decoders except the only three choices you get are single, three, or five chime. I would like to have a locomotive that had cool oddly sound three chime that sounds like a bird built a nest in one of the horns.
