*GE P42*The GE "Genesis" series of Locomotives was developed to be the main locomotives for Amtrak. Amtraks EMD F40PH locomotives were aging fast and GE came to the rescue with a more powerful and more fuel efficient design. Some P42 Locomotives were built with a Dual Mode capability utilizing a 3rd Rail shoe for collecting electricity. These engines run on the North East Corridor on Amtrak and on Metro North. The ESU version is the DC model which is much more common. It can be used to represent the P42s used by Amtrak, Via, NJT and Conn DOT. It can also be used in the non-electrified Areas of Metro North.
The P42 has a Very Specific Sound set. No Generic GE sound is correct for it. We have gone out of our way to make sure the sound we provide is as accurate as possible. We’ve even had the opportunity to take a cab in a P42 and take note of exactly how the engine was operated so that we could produce a sound that is absolutely true to the prototype.
Some the P42 Specific Features include the following:
-Air Bell and E-Bell (E-Bell Default)
-Automatic E-Bell and Flashing Ditch Lights with the Horn
-Awesome LOUD K5LA Amtrak P42 Horn
-Low Idle sounds (when HEP is off)
-P42 Dynamic Brake sounds
-Accurate HEP Sounds with the Prime Mover running about 900 RPM
-Change in sound when HEP is active an heavy load is applied
-Stand By Mode when HEP is active and sitting still (on a function button)
-Auto Crossing Sequence loop with Bell and Flashing Ditch Lights (Real P42's have a button on the floor to activate this!)
-Air Dryer sound
-Outstanding "Whoop" Air compressor sounds
-Function outputs AUX 1 and AUX 2 set up for Reversing Red Lights on nose and tail with ability to be turned off separate from the Headlights for prototypical running.
-Function outputs AUX 3 and AUX 4 are set up for Flashing Ditch LightsArticle number(s): 73482, 73882

*GE GEVO-12*GE Evolution 12cyl "Gevo" Locomotives have a 4 stoke diesel engine and have been designed to be more efficient and more emission friendly than previous models. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference, though admittedly there is little sound difference if any between the two.
All Gevos have been delivered with the Nathan-Airchime K5HL air horn. Most if not all have been delivered with a Graham-White 373 E-Bells. This E-Bell is tied to the Horn Circuit in the locomotive and will play automatically when the horn is played. The ESU version also has this new feature. The Bell can be activated by either pressing F1 or by pressing the Horn using F2. The "Auto-Bell" can be turned off by silencing the Auto-Bell sound slot. (CV32-1 then CV323 to a value of 0)
Another feature of the prototype is "Smart Start" for the sake of both emissions and fuel savings All Gevos have been built with an auto shutdown/Auto Start feature. After the loco has been idle for a period time, the engine will shut down on its own. If the prime mover cools to a certain temperature the loco will automatically start again to keep from freezing. Our ESU version is also equipped with this "Smart Start" feature. If enabled after idling for either 1 or 2 minutes (Selectable with CV48) the engine will shut down and without doing anything to the throttle it will start again on its own. If at any time during this shutdown mode you would like to run your loco, just turn the throttle slightly and the engine will go through it's start up cycle and then allow you to move it. The feature can also be turned off if it is deemed undesirable.
Though all Gevos were delivered with Nathan K5HL air horns we've also included a few extra horns in case you wish to use something different. Due to the vast numbers of sounds included in the file we were not able to include our normal 16 horns, but we have included 7 for your choosing. These are Selectable by using CV48. Values 0-6
The file includes 3 Prime Movers Selectable by CV48
PM #1 (CV48 Value – 0):Gevo-No Smart Start
PM #2 (CV48 Value – 16):Gevo-1 Minute Smart Start (Default Setting)
PM #3 (CV48 Value – 32):Gevo-2 Minute Smart Start

*Shay*The Shay locomotive was the most widely used geared steam locomotive. The locomotives were built to the patents of Ephraim Shay, who has been credited with the popularization of the concept of a geared steam locomotive.
Shay locomotives had regular fire-tube boilers offset to the left to provide space for, and counterbalance the weight of, a two or three cylinder "motor," mounted vertically on the right with longitudinal drive shafts extending fore and aft from the crankshaft at wheel axle height. These shafts had universal joints and square sliding prismatic joints to accommodate the swiveling trucks. Each axle was driven by a separate bevel gear, with no side rods.
The strength of these engines is that all wheels, including, in some engines, those under the tender, are driven so that all the weight develops tractive effort. A high ratio of piston strokes to wheel revolutions allowed them to run at partial slip, where a conventional rod engine would spin its drive wheels and burn rails, losing all traction.
Shay locomotives were often known as sidewinders or stemwinders for their side-mounted drive shafts. Most were built for use in the United States, but many were exported, to about thirty countries, either by Lima, or after they had reached the end of their usefulness in the US.

*EMD 710-20Cyl - SD80MAC*The SD80MAC is a 5000 horsepower C-C diesel-electric locomotive. The SD80MAC uses a 20 cylinder version of EMD's 710G prime mover,formally known as the V-20 710G3B-ES and is the first diesel locomotive to use a 20-cylinder engine since the SD45/SD45-2. The SD80MAC introduced a wide radiator housing similar to GE locomotives and the placement of dynamic brakes at the rear of the locomotive. Key spotting difference between the SD80MAC and SD90MAC include: no external rear sandbox on the 90MAC, rear number boards, and the placement of the front numberboards (above the cab windows on the SD80MAC, on the nose on most SD90MACs). The SD80MAC also has recessed red marker lights in the nose, an identifying feature unique to Conrail locomotives, although NS has removed the lights on most of their former Conrail engines.

*ALCO251*The Alco 251 diesel engine was developed by the American Locomotive Company to replace the 244 and 539. The 251 Prime mover was Alco’s best selling prime mover. In 1954, the 251 went into production with the inline-6 at Auburn, New York. The next year production of the V-12 followed. Samples of the 12Cyl versions were found in: RS-11, RSD-12, RS-18, RS-36, FPA-4, FPB-4, DL500B, RS-32, C420, MLW M420TR, M420W, DH643 and HR412
Ultimately a refined and successful design, the 251 outlived its designer. For a time it was built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works. Today it is still available from Fairbanks-Morse. Examples of the 16-Cyl 251 can be found in: RS-27, RSD-15, RSD-17, C424, M424W, C425, C628, C855, C855B, C430, C630, C630M, M630, C636, M636, LRC-2, LRC-3 and HR616.

*ALCO244 12cyl-16cyl*The Alco 244 prime movers were widely used and still can be found on shortlines and tourist railroads today. Primary uses for the Alco 12- 244 prime movers were: Alco FA’s, FB’s, RS-2’s, RS-3’s, RSC-2’s, RSC-3’s, RSD 4’s, and RSD-5’s
The Alco 16 Cyl 244’s were only used in Alco Pa-1’s, PA-2’s and RSD-7s. It was not considered to be a very reliable prime mover. There are no known existing examples of Locomotives with 16 Cyl 244 prime movers.

*EMD 16-645F*EMD 16-645F Possible uses... GP40X, GP50, SD40X, and SD50s
The EMD 645 family of diesel engines was designed and manufactured by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Developed from the earlier 567 series engines, the 645 series engines entered production in 1965. All 645 engines are two-stroke 45 degree V-engines. Each cylinder is of 645 cubic inches (10.57 liters) displacement, hence the name; with a bore of nine and one-sixteenth inches (230.2 mm), a stroke of ten inches (254 mm) and a compression ratio of 14.5:1. Cylinders in each V-pair are directly opposite each other, allowing "fork" connecting rods for one bank of cylinders as all rods are always in compression throughout both engine cycles (competitor General Electric uses the more complicated "articulated" connecting rods as all rods are alternately in compression or tension throughout all four engine cycles and the simpler "fork" connecting rods cannot operate in tension).

*Y6B 2-8-8-2*Norfolk & Western used Y6-class locomotives primarily for slower, heavy freight trains in the more mountainous districts. Although they were used throughout the N&W, their primary work occurred on the Pocahontas, Radford, and Shenandoah Divisions. They mostly hauled manifest freight and coal trains.
When Diesel locomotives took over the main-line steam operations, the Y6-type locomotives spent their last two years mostly on mine and other coal-field runs.

*GE Cat-44*The GE 44-ton switcher is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Electric between 1940 and 1956. The locomotives were available with a choice of prime movers. Most were built with a pair of Caterpillar Inc.'s D17000 V8 180 horsepower (134 kW) engines. It was designed for industrial and light switching duties, often replacing steam locomotives that had previously been assigned these chores. This locomotive's specific 44-short ton weight was directly related to one of the efficiencies the new diesel locomotives offered compared to their steam counterparts: reduced labour intensity. In the 1940s, the steam to diesel transition was in its infancy in North America, and railroad unions were trying to protect the locomotive fireman jobs that were redundant with diesel units. One measure taken to this end was a stipulation that locomotives weighing 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) or more required a fireman in addition to an engineer. The 44-ton locomotive was born to skirt this requirement. Other manufacturers also built 44-ton switchers of center-cab configuration. 348 examples of this locomotive were built for North American railroads. Many remain, in service and in museums.

*GE FDL-16Cyl*The GE FDL Prime Mover is different from the 7FDL Prime movers. The 7FDL were used in the "-7" series locomotives. FDL's were used primarily in the "U" Series Locomotives. In most cases the the FDL series was not used in locomotives built from 1977 forward.
Examples can be found in the following prototypes:
U25B, U28B, U30B, U33B, U36B, U25C, U28C, U30C, U33C, U36C and a dual prime mover version U50

*EMD 12-645 Non Turbo*This EMD 12-645 sound is fitted with a roots blower instead of a Turbo Charger. Possible uses for this sound include: GP15, SW1500, MP15AC, MP15DC and others.
The EMD 645 family of diesel engines was designed and manufactured by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Developed from the earlier 567 series engines, the 645 series engines entered production in 1965. All 645 engines are two-stroke 45 degree V-engines. Each cylinder is of 645 cubic inches (10.57 liters) displacement, hence the name; with a bore of nine and one-sixteenth inches (230.2 mm), a stroke of ten inches (254 mm) and a compression ratio of 14.5:1. Cylinders in each V-pair are directly opposite each other, allowing "fork" connecting rods for one bank of cylinders as all rods are always in compression throughout both engine cycles (competitor General Electric uses the more complicated "articulated" connecting rods as all rods are alternately in compression or tension throughout all four engine cycles and the simpler "fork" connecting rods cannot operate in tension).

*EMD 16-710GB-SD9043MAC*EMD 16-710GB
The EMD 710 is a line of diesel engines built by Electro-Motive Diesel (previously General Motors' Electro-Motive Division). The 710 series largely replaced the earlier EMD 645 series. The EMD 710 is a large two-stroke diesel engine that has a 710 cubic inches (11.6 liters) displacement per cylinder.[1] Since its introduction, EMD has continually upgraded the 710G diesel engine. Power output has increased from 3,800 horsepower (2,800 kW) on 1984's 16-710G3A to 4,500 horsepower (3,400 kW) (as of 2012) on the 16-710G3C-T2, but most current examples are 4,300 horsepower (3,200 kW).
Over the production span of certain locomotive models, upgraded engine models have been fitted when these became available. For example, an early 1994-built SD70MAC had a 16-710G3B, whereas a later 2003-built SD70MAC would have a 16-710G3C-T1. Most of these differences had to do with emissions and little changed concerning the sound of the Prime Mover.
This sound file is a 16 Cyl version with Electric Start which would be correct for the following prototypes:
GP60, GP60M, GP60B, SD60, SD60M, SD60I, SD60F, Australian National AN Class, SD70, SD70M, SD70MAC and SD70I, SD75M, SD75I, SD90/43MAC.
(This WOULD not be correct for the SD70M-2 or SD70ACe Locomotives as they had air start. For those models our 73425 project would be more appropriate.)

*EMD 12-645E3*The EMD GP39-2 is a 4-axle diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1974 and 1984. 239 examples of this locomotive were built for American railroads. Part of the EMD Dash 2 line, the GP39-2 was an upgraded GP39. The power for this locomotive was provided by a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine, which could produce 2,300 horsepower.
While this sound was recorded from an EMD GP39-2 the 12Cyl 645E3 Prime mover is also accurate for GP39, GP39-2, SD39, SDL39, CIE 071, EMD GT22, British Rail Class 57, V/Line N class, New Zealand DFT class, JT22CW, V/Line A class. This would also be VERY close to a GP49.

*MP40PH-3C*The MPXpress line of locomotives were the first production passenger locomotives to meet EPA Tier 1 and Tier 2 emissions regulations, as well as FRA safety regulations regarding crashworthiness and fire safety. Numerous public transit agencies in Canada and the United States have ordered MPXpress locomotives for their commuter rail services. To date only GO Transit have MP40PH-3C in Service but Sounder Commutr Rail in Seattle does have an order pending for 3 Units.
The prime mover used in the MP40PH-3C is a EMD 16-710GB. The Prototype has a seperate HEP unit for providing Power to the Passengers. This sound is also available in the in this file as a user dependant function that can turned on and off as needed. (Usually if 2 engines are used only the engine closest to the cars will have the HEP unit running)
These Locomotives are used Daily in "Push-Pull" service and are set up to do so as default in this decoder as well. Operating Front and rear red lights and Headlight/Ditchlights are set accordingly as default.
True Line Trains has produced a Fantastic HO model Of the MP40PH-3C and comes factory equipped with an ESU LokSound Select decoder. This file is used in the Model.Article number(s): 73428, 73828

*EMD F40PH*The EMD F40PH is equipped with a turbocharged EMD 645E3 V16 cylinder, two-stroke Prime mover. A standard F40PH has a gear ratio of 57:20 allowing a top speed of 103 mph (166 km/h). To support passenger service, the F40PH has another electrical alternator known as the head end power unit.(HEP) The HEP unit generates three-phase AC power at 480 V AC, 750 A or about 500 kW to provide power to the passenger cars for lighting, heating, and air conditioning. Originally F40PHs all powered the HEP alternator from the 16-645E3 prime mover; head end power must be delivered to the train at a constant frequency, so the prime mover had to turn at a constant 900 RPM while supplying head end power (even if the locomotive was standing still with the throttle in Idle). Power to the traction motors was controlled by varying the field excitation of the main (traction) generator. If the HEP was turned on the F40PH ran in Notch 8 all the time. Sitting still or moving at full speed. If the HEP was turned off (while switching perhaps) The prime mover went through the notches like normal. Idle through 8.
Our new F40PH sound is that of an as built F40PH with a shaft driven HEP which can be turned on and off accordingly. It also has Stand-by mode which is used in stations to drop the PM enough that the HEP is still able to be used, yet Fuel savings and noise is more control while not moving. One thing to note is that if 2 F40Ph's were on a train only the engine closest to the cars should have the HEP running.
Many of the F40PH's were rebuilt over the years. If by chance you are modeling a Rebuilt F40PH which may have a Caterpillar HEP unit you should not use this file, but rather the F40PH rebuilt/MP36PH-3C file as it will have the proper sounds and sound schedule for that engine.
Including a brand new F40PH K5LA horn, as with all Select decoders there are a total of 16 separate horns, 2 separate brake squeals, and 2 bells included on this one sound profile! All changeable using CV48Article number(s): 73430, 73830

*ALCO251 (16 cyl)*The Alco 251 diesel engine was developed by the American Locomotive Company to replace the 244 and 539. The 251 Prime mover was Alco’s best selling prime mover. In 1954, the 251 went into production with the inline-6 at Auburn, New York. Ultimately a refined and successful design, the 251 outlived its designer. For a time it was built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works. Today it is still available from Fairbanks-Morse. Examples of the 16-Cyl 251 can be found in the following locomotives:
Air Start Examples: C430, C630, C636,C630M, and Some M630s and M636's
Electric Start Examples: RS-27, RSD-15, RSD-17, C424, M424W, C425, C628, C855, C855B, M630, C636, M636, LRC-2, LRC-3 and HR616.
This LokSound Select file contains two versions of the prime mover:

*SD70M-2*The SD70M-2 is a DC traction version of the SD70ACe, and the two models are nearly identical in every other respect. Production commenced in 2005. Like the SD70ACe the SD70M-2 models are equipped with the 16-710G3C-T2 prime mover which is rated at 4,300 horsepower. One of the main differences in the SD70M-2/SD70ACes from previous SD70s is the addition of Air Start. This loud burst of air in the start sequence is not present on most earlier EMD locomotives. All SD70M-2s and SD70ACes, except for the ones bought by CITX, are equipped with the Airchime model K5LLA air horn and an electronic bell.
