Does anybody have the MTH 20-3643-1 or 3655-1? I bought a Nickel Plate Road #587 (3647) with the hope of converting it to a Southern, but was horrified the sound program consisted mainly of a series of narratives about the locomotive and current excursion use. Very little useful cab chatter. This was from the line of 3.0 Mikados in the 2016 catalog. I was wondering if you had one of the Southerns or any other engine from that line and if the audio programs are similar, or do the Southerns have standard cab chatter instead of the narratives? Thanks

Download the sound file and load it, you'll see.
Unfortunately MTH does not have the mp3 files for this run of locomotives on their website, so I was hoping to get feedback on the content so I don't download something that won't be any good either.
this one shows an active MP3 file to hear
Appreciate the help but these were from a different run and I have a Southern ps4 that originally had a passenger PFA highlighting the midwest, but I was able to get another file for the southeast which was perfect. This was a series from the 2016 vol. 1 catalog numbered 20-3643 to 3647 (which is what I have). I'm concerned they might all have the "narrative" PFA and chatter.
Called MTH and they confirmed this particular run of locomotives did have narratives, otherwise they sound fine, probably more authentic, and do have some useful chatter. May find a use for it or take to a train show. Will sell, however, for a reasonable offer. It's the Nickel Plate Road #587, 3.0
