    1. Engine/Power Response
      • The real British Rail Class 221 has a distinctive diesel turbine/engine whine that changes with throttle.
      • In TSW6, the engine sound is too flat, lacks dynamic pitch variation, and doesn’t fully reflect acceleration or power changes.
    2. Cab Sound Balance
      • Traction, engine, and gearbox noises are often drowned out by ambient sounds.
      • Internal cab audio doesn’t feel as immersive as real life.
    3. Repetitive Loops
      • Some engine and running sounds loop too noticeably, rather than smoothly evolving with speed or throttle changes.
    4. Gear & Transmission
      • The Class 221 has hydraulic transmission, giving it a distinctive whine in gear shifts. In-game, this is underrepresented or absent, making the train feel less “alive.”
