Vulcan Productions Class 86 (as-built)

Other than the AP 40, which other loco's can you hear? Is your 86 AP enhanced or default RSC sounds?

Default RSC. I can hear any *cab* sounds from any other nearby loco.

You could try it as well; in a quick simple route throw a few locos in very close proximity, and trigger the AWS or another prominent noticeable sound (maybe with a magnet or something) on all of them. You’d be able to hear all the AWS horns from all the locos in all cabs, in my case at least.

Have you included a "Cab Occlusion" in the blueprint?

Yep, I think it’s the same one as the RSC 86. AFAIK that only occludes the exterior sound?

Just tried with a default RSC 86 with a default Kuju 47 passing over an AWS ramp on the next track, with signals set by other locos to trigger a warning. It wasn't audible from the cab of the 86.

EDIT: Swapped the 47 for a 40 and added 2 permanent, always warn, ramps with no change--still no sound intruding into the 86 cab.

Thanks for that, adds some more spice into the mix now . Must be something I’m doing or not doing. Are you by chance able to hear the 86 transformer live power growl/hum from the 40 or 47?

In the 40, yes--but I'm one of those who suffer from the sounds being too quiet on the AP 40 and 50 in relation to other locos.
In the 47 I couldn't pick out any particular sound from the 86, just sounded like a passing train would.
