found small mistake in the PRR K4 simulation.bin

The compressor CutOutPressure (coded as 110) and RestartPressure (coded as 130) should have the values exchanged. Not sure it matters though, since as near as I can tell the compressor sound file only gets played once regardless of the pressure reduction. I couldn't find any code that defines the compressor pumping performance relative to the reservoir volume.
The other interesting feature is that there are sound files for both shoveling and a stoker. The stoker plays when you open the firebox in the HUD. Did this loco have a stoker?

The cab view has a stoker and it sounds as a stoker. Interesting finding that one about the shoveling sounds.

You still have to shovel the back corners of the firebox even with a stoker.

Can you explain how this is simulated in the TS k4?

It isn't. I'm just explaining that you still have to shovel occasionally (especially when hostling or doing yard work) with a stoked engine.
