This is one major difference between operating as a kid and operating now. Now I love the slow train when I run the modern stuff. It looks realistic and I like hearing the defined chuffs instead of the clatter of cars rolling along. I don't know how many times I rolled my poor 4-4-2 off the track as a kid because I was setting land speed records.
The old heavy post war engines have their own sounds when you turn up the throttle though! No railsounds needed haha
