ALCO S2 texturing and weathering WIPS.

[shicoe30]

Ah, well no rush, question though, are you doing custom sounds? If so, I may be able to lend a hand if you want. There's an S2 that occasionally works a job here in Milwaukee, have a few friends with good recording equipment, could get some sound for ya if they bring her out to switch out cars for the UP marsh job to pick up.

That would be Fantastic! Im not quite at the point where Im thinking about audio just yet, but when the time comes, I would most certainly appreciate any help you could offer!

Maybe we can chat later on, down the way.

Thanks dude!

This video has a pretty good idling sound for the S2:

Here are some cab photo's for when you build the cab of it. Including a photo looking directly at the engineer's controls.

P.S, what do you plan for it to be, payware or freeware.
Just curious.

Keep up the great work.

@jpetersjr
Hey! Thanks so much for those great reference photos! No doubt, they will be a big help when I get the cab going. Currently, I only have a few interior shots, so these will make a swell addition.

@steve-the-slim
Thanks for your Youtube audio ref as well. ...just lovin that chug chug sound! I listened to a few more there, too. Great ref material!

To you both ~ thanks for your interest

~Rich

p.s. freeware.

[IIIIIREPOIIIII]

Freeware! he said freeware

[jpetersjr]

It's the least I can do when there are real cab photo's to be found.

Great stuff you are doing! Just amazing . I know it is time consuming and real hard. Take your time, and try to have fun while doing it.

Still waiting on a chance to record that S2 working the Nidera plant in Milwaukee, but in the meantime, I'll try to rummage through my old VHSs and DVDs to see if I can't get some audio, although I don't know if it'd be legally usable or whatever.
