Electric Sound Decoders


 

I'm looking for sound decoders with sounds for electric locos. Soundtraxx just has a generic "AC motor" in their Tsunami 2 line. ESU has a GG1 and a New Orleans trolley sound. TCS has a decoder with an electric sound but I can't find any more details of what that is. Are there any other electric sound offerings from anybody else?
I have a number of brass interurban and streetcar models that can use decoders. I also have a Milwaukee Road EF3/5 three unit set and am interested in getting a GN Y-1. None of the above-mentioned sound offerings, other than the New Orleans car, seem like good matches, and the New Orleans car sound might be close for just a couple of my streetcar models.

Why are they called apartments when they're all crammed together?

GG1

Standard Gauge Electric Locomotive GE/PRR Altoona Works GG1

The PRR GG1 was a class of electric locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), in the northeastern United States. Between 1934 and 1943 General Electric and the PRR's Altoona Works built 139 GG1s.

The GG1 entered service with the PRR in 1935 and later ran on successor railroads Penn Central, Conrail and Amtrak. The last GG1 was retired by New Jersey Transit in 1983. Most have been scrapped, but several are in museums.

Thank you. I didn't realize that Zimo also had decoders with loadable sound files. Unfortunately it seems the GG1 and streetcar files are locked behind a paywall, plus I'm guessing it would require the purchase of programmer. I currently have no Zimo decoders so that might be a costly option for only a few units, although as previously mentioned I do have a number of streetcars and interurbans.

For my Baldwin Steeple I used a German Electric from about the same era. The sound of the motor and gears sounds right to my ears. Of course I changed the horn and bell to American types.

You can buy the decoders preloaded with the sound file you need not buy a programmer
decoderpro (jmri) would let you alter CVs
