Not sure if this railroad terminology but this is in my engine sounds on my new loco. I swallowed my watch is also in my trainwreck. What other strange recordings have you come across in your engines.

 

BTW, even though my TW sounds are played at chimpmunk speed, I swear I here the F-Bomb in that recording.

That might have been me when I realized I accidentally pressed the TW button. I enjoy all of the various "talking" from my engines but I hate the train wreck!

The crew talk for the MTH European locomotives is in the appropriate European languages. In the case of the Swiss electrics (both the Crocodile and the modern SBB Cargo unit), that means the dialogue is in Schwyzerdeutsch, a German dialect spoken in Switzerland. it is almost impenetrable to anyone who doesn't speak that specific dialect. I can speak passable German, and I can't understand a word of it. I played it for a native German speaker who is a member of our club, and he couldn't make head or tail of it either. 

 

On the other hand, the passenger station announcements in French for the Orient Express are a lot of fun - they set the right atmosphere even if you don't speak French (I do, but badly). And I love that high-pitched Euro whistle!
