I always thought most of the soundsets were very accurate overall. I try not to bash any attempt. I am increasingly frustrated that I hear another brand (Locksound?) in DCC have a decent sounding turbo engine set and yet the MTH soundset still sounds like it's not turbo charged.
I have the older PS2 SD engines and figured MTH would improve. I got the PS3 version and it's still not there the way I expect to hear it. If it is there already, I may try and play it thru my sound system to see if it's just not being reproduced accurately?
