Just purchased a Proto Sound 3 SD90MAC to run with a Proto Sound 2 we have and the engine sound is completely different.
How is that possible? And why? It seems they have lost the cool "whistling" at idle.
Anyway to fix this and get the old sounds installed?
Thanks

You can load a 3V PS2 Sound File into that PS3 locomotive, will that do it for you?

That might do it. Have never done one, very difficult?
Couldn't believe they changed the sound on identical prototype locos!
It's the same procedure as loading it on the PS/2 locomotive, only it doesn't affect the operational things like motor RPM and speed, those are in a different memory on PS/3.

Are you sure its ProtoSounds-3? According to MTH the last run of SD90MAC was in 2010 and were ProtoSounds-2. Maybe your ProtoSounds-3 engine is a SD70ACe, which would sound different from a SD90MAC.

The actual MTH item number would be a big help here.

20-20028 Proto 2.0 from 2010?
20-20296 Proto 3.0 from 2013?
Both are SD-9043MAC's
Sure looks like PS/3 to me.
