The GE FDL-16 prime mover was first used in 1959 in the General Electric U25B locomotive. Over the years little changed in terms of sound until the "Dash-8" series of GE locomotives was introduced. Known for their throaty chug and shaft driven compressor (rather than the more modern “Whoop” electric compressor) , the following GE locomotives used the early 16cyl FDL prime mover:

U25B
U28B
U30B
U33B
U36B
U25C
U28C
U28CG
U30C
U30CG
P30CH
U34CH
U33C
U36C
B30-7
B36-7
C30-7
C36-7

Dash-8 locomotives and newer through the AC4400CWs use the MODERN 16cyl 7FDL prime mover. For the modern sound use ESU sound file 73440 (Select) or 74440 (V4.0).

U50Bs used 2 Early GE 16cyl FDL prime movers. For this sound use ESU sound file 73421 (Select) or 74421 (V4.0).

As with all SELECT decoders there are up to 16 separate horns, 2 separate brake squeals and 2 bells included on this one sound profile! All changeable using CV48.
