Folks<
I'm running the sound file that came with the Rudolph 2-8-0. Don't tell the kids, but I doubt it is prototypical 
I'm looking for a sound file with better chuff and a cooler whistle. Any suggestions? The whistle isn't bad, but the chuff has a ding ding sound worked into it, that is driving me ding dong! Any suggestions? It doesn't need to be 2-8-0, just good.

If it's 5-volt, the sound file from the Premier ATSF 2-8-2 Mikado is a good one. The drivers on the Mikado are smaller, so there's less of a a discrepancy with the driver size on your 2-8-0.
If it's 3-volt, the sound file from the Premier ATSF 4-6-4 Hudson is good. The driver size is larger than that of the Rail King, so the chuff won't perfectly match the wheel rotation.
Hope this helps.
I recently put one in my RK 2-8-0 and love the soulful sounding whistle and bell. It came from the 30-4185-1 NYC engine. This file does not have rear marker lights or steam generator spooling.
It's a shame MTH doesn't make it so we can hear the files before we download.
I don't know if you have a 2meg or 1meg board. Everyone has their favorite and here's mine:

I bet it's a newer 2mg file.
