I am looking to purchase a QSI revolution decoder and have the sounds pre loaded for me. I noticed that there are 4 files for SD45’s. Can I guess that they are different do to different horns? I guess I am asking here vers asking QSI, hoping to get a quicker responce.

Thanks

If you order your QSI decoders from a source such as Litchfield Station or Ulrich Models Hobby Store they will program the decoder for you, and will probably know which file you need depending on the road name you desire.

Are you sure that they actually have SD45 specific sound sets available? I looked at their sound set ID page (http://www.qsisolutions.com/products/techinfo/revolution/q-revo_codes_diesel.htmland) and see that the SD45s are 1050-337, -338, -339, and -340, but there isn’t any sample sound file to listen to.

Your best bet on this is to go right to the source and ask what’s available.

The best and only accurate SD45 sound set comes from LokSound. There is nothing else available…there is a difference between 16 cylinders (SD40) and 20 cylinders (SD45). QSI will tell you that they both sound the same…and use the same file for both. LokSound actually records the different prime movers with or without turbocharge.

Tsunami and QSI both have 16 cylinder recordings for their decoders.

Thanks David, I am looking for that distinct SD45 sound. As far as QSI, I did ask them this exact question and never heard from them. I did get with someone else who told me that those sound files from QSI are not available yet. :o( I will look into Loksound decoders.

Thanks
