QSI sound file settings A not commonly known fact is that the QSI sound files contain ALL the sounds for that loco type. So you can take one file and turn it into another. This is especially helpful when you get a brand new release, and it is not available customized for your particular loco. This table contains the default settings for some of the common locos. Using this data, you can take any file and customize it to any loco of the same type (steam, diesel, electric). Why is this important? Because sometimes, the files posted for download on the QSI Solutions site are not all the latest version. That should explain why I have started this table. In the future, I may list customizations here also. Each section has 2 numbers. The first number after the description is the type number: 1008 Diesel
2001 Electric
3010 Steam
4000 Steam compound/articulated
5000 Turbine (HO unit numbers appear to be 1050, 2050, 3050, 4050, 5050)
There are more "G scale" numbers, but they are apparently no longer used.
The second number is the sound set number, both of these number match the numbers you see on the QSI download page.
