Please leave it as it is. The repowering movement is all but forgotten, especially in the sim. No matter how unintentional, this model of the 525 is a perfect example of the creativity and resourcefulness of that era. Please leave it as it is. There are plenty of choices for sounds, perhaps the sounds found in frvr4505.zip in the T-S library are the best fit.

The Northern Pacific also had a Baldwin DRS-4-4-15, number 176, It was eventually repowered too, but not until 1966. At that time it was renumbered 501, and became BN 406. So the repowered 525 and the as-built 176 co-existed for several years.

I've already uploaded and awaiting approval is a separate sound pack for those wishing to have the EMD sounds on the 525, using Ron Furto's GP9 sounds. The Original 525 is left as is in the library. Thanks, David, for your help, it's much appreciated. :cheers3:
