Was debating putting the Bittern Line in but I would love Sheringham too with a potential North Norfolk Railway add-on
Problem I have encountered with some AP sounds in TSC, is that they tend to go for "authentic" in cab, which means where Sprinter traction is concerned the engine sounds are barely audible. An example is the 158 bundled with the Huddersfield (NTP) route. Take a seat in passenger view and you get the classic 158 melodious drone. Switch back to the cab and there is almost nothing. There needs to be a compromise between authentic and entertainment. We also know from the Rivet 150, that you can source good sounds from AP but if they are not mixed and cued correctly, then you might as well alias to a Kia Sportage.
We all know Rivet have some work to do on the 150 but look at the Electrostars that DTG made for BML which utilise AP sounds, aren't they good
Still too quiet in the cab, crying out for some means to adjust the volume or balance of traction sounds vs. ambient.
Excellent idea and furthermore the trains here can then be reused for a northern rail route when needed That includes the Northern Rail Trans Pennine main line which is Calder Valley Line. If set now route has Class 755s
What would you prefer, hearing the train better or hearing the ambient sounds better A solution could be to open the windows
Not possible on most TSC stock and in the case of DMU traction the external roar is not the same as the melodious interior sound.
Fair argument, surely opening windows in the cab would be a feature of the train to hear external sounds like the SEHS 66
Well loco hauled is a different matter as you do want the external thrash audible in the cab, unrealistic as that may be. Fairly certain in TSC, AP also mute loco thrash in the cab too which is why I never bothered buying much of their stuff. Anyhow I have induced a bit of thread drift here so back on topic, yes Wherry Lines with kr without Sheringham, regardless of era and whatever the trains sound like in cab, would be great.
No you didn't go off topic, you were talking about the trains and AP sounds Wherry Lines with or without Sheringham would do me, anyone who loved the TSC version will love the TSW counterpart as long as DTG get it right
