Perhaps the GOAT Sprinter, the Class 158s and 159s are a regular appearance for those travelling around Wessex, the Midlands, Northern England, Wales, and Scotland. This sound mod is Work In Progress, but ready to be put out there as my time for sound this Spring has ran out.
There are three packages which you can choose from for your personal preference. All three options will provide you with new interior and exterior sounds regardless of the engine:
All packages:
- Detailed running recordings for the exterior and cab boost the mechanical feel of the train
- New interior track joint recordings clear the Class 158 of default Train Sim World sounds
- Horn recordings, with the same setup as the Class 395 Sound Mod, smoothly differentiates the inside and outside
- AWS, DSD/DVD, and PRM standard door alarms capture the likes of the Sprinter
- Added the whirring of fans to the interior when the engine is powered on
Cummins:
- Nothing is added nor taken away from the Armstrong Powerhouse engine sounds you already have in Train Sim World
- New recordings will be saught in Summer to make the audio more complicated
Perkins:
- An entirely custom sound set which makes the engine audio as complex as with the Class 166 for Train Sim World
- Unique engine, exhaust, and hydroviscous drive sound effects apply inside and outside the train with dedicated recordings
- Unable to change physics
Mixed:
- The random chance that a car will use sounds of either the Perkins or Cummins power is 50/50 as a technical limitation
- Adds variety to the driving experience, but also trainsets with mixed sound sets
- Both the Perkins and Cummins sounds are volume balanced and attenuated effectively in the event of mixing

As always, awesome mod!
My mod's folder is litrally packed with your paks :)
Thanks, and same. At the end of the day, I am my own customer for this. TSC is a place where I can share this kinda thing O_o
Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but I have the Perkins PAK installed, but I still keep getting the default sounds. Any ideas why?
You probably installed it incorrectly. If you're on Steam, the instructions are given.
I've installed into my directory - common\Train Sim World 3\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC, but shows no signs of working. Pretty sure I've done everything right.
Try putting an exclamation mark at the start of the file name. I know this mod works, and works for 30 other people who haven't said anything. You might have a conflicting mod... but 4 days after release?
Nope. Still nothing. Not a clue as it's the only mod installed, and it's a fresh install, from yesterday.
m; Try putting it in Paks not DLC ive had issues like that and thats usually the way i solved it :)
it says nothing is taken away on the cummins sound but theres no turbo whistle when u put throttle to off like irl
It's not his faut lol
That sound was not implemented by dtg i believe.
Thanks you
Fantastic sound mod, will you be doing a sound mod for the EMT Class 43 VP185?
Cummings, and mixed engines don't have any engine sound?
Only perkins does.
All three have engine sounds. But for whatever reason, the idling sound for the Cummins one is quieter than the Perkins one. The next versions will come at some point in the near future.
No, there is literally no engine sound, you can hear nothing inside or outside. Even when you increase the throttle, it's silent.
I just tested it so I know this isn't true
I'll even send you a video if you want??
No I don't want you to send me a video. It works for 170 other people.
I don't see why you're being rude..? Literally just asking for a little help for a mod you uploaded...
We're done here. I gave you my response. I literally said a new version is coming SOON. If that's not good enough for you, what am I supposed to do? Fix your computer? I can only replace the mod with something else which works... which is coming SOON. I've said this already. The fix is coming... soon.
My apologies, I skipped over it, however you never stated 'fix', then you started to be rude, and now you're continuing.. I've been very reasonable.
Dear me..
Oh you fixed it, wasn't so hard was it??
it’s when working in multiple. The rear units do not emulate the sounds that the front is making. No engine noise for sure.
But I’ve un-installed it anyway as there are many inaccuracies here once again.
- Track joints are very ‘in your face’ and are not recorded directly off a 158. They’re the same as used for the 166 and even then weren’t the best quality of sample.
(Original track joints are nice, accurate, correctly subtle and balanced well)
1a) - DSD and AWS sounds might be a recording of the modern versions but actual quality is clearly a bad sample rather than a decent microphone being used to capture true sound of these.
Running sounds aren’t as good as original as once again. The original was recorded using high tech recording equipment off an actual 158 unit and are truly wonderful representations of the real life stock.
Real life cabs are not noisy, they’re much quieter than this.
As mentioned, when working in multiple the rear units engine sounds are missing.
Therefore I deleted the mod and like most of these sound mods, The audio for this unit has been balanced really well in house, with the sounds provided by AP. The professional audio team have done an amazing job and doesn’t need to be messed around with by amateurs.
A good try, but definitely not an improvement or one for replacing the default sounds on this occasion.
It is still WIP but it's produced to match real cab videos of the Class 158 which you can find easily online. Sure the exterior running sounds aren't recorded from a Class 158, but as stated in the changelog, I need to go and find one first which costs nearly £100. Thank you for your feedback, but as far as what I do with this mod, you don't get to say what I can and can't do. I can try and fix the bug for multiple working at the very least, but your comments must stay on-topic.
Right now I am working on the 1972 Tube Stock and so the improvements you've asked for will come a bit later if that's alright? A great deal of real audio building goes into these mods now as you can tell with the 395. Give it some time. If it says "Work In Progress"... it really is. Audio is time consuming and expensive. I'm a full-time engineer and this stuff is free for you, so construction goes a long way for improvement.
I can improve the samples for AWS, but DSD/DVD is on the mark. Track joints? Well they can be replaced, but the DTG ones have to go in my view. No content is being cut, if you understand. Over time, this mod will develop - requiring patience and onboarding. In the hands of the editor (me), I can do almost anything I want including what you want too.
Boom, AWS sample and engine concurrency fixed. You should be able to hear up to sixteen Class 158 engines at the same time.
Hi, can you do this mod for class 323?
I'd certainly like to. I'm updating the 1972 Stock at the moment
Сan you do this mod for class 323?
No need. the 323 is actually accurate as they are one of local units
Don't get me wrong, the 323 could be better because VVVF but it's already very good
Can you do mod for Ice 3 (403 and 406) Sounds of eurostar 374 ?
I just realised - it's the summer, i'm excited for the new cummins audio.
It's still over a month away
feels like it lol
feels like it lol
i wonder how the new audio sounds
There'll be an update for this at some point in the future. I'm gathering recordings for multiple trains rather than focusing on one.
Ive Installed it and put it into Steamapps/common/ Trainsimworld4/WindowsNoeditor/Ts2Prototype/Content/DLC
I launch the game and i click on class 158EMT then Midland mainline dissapears
so i put it in Trainsimworld4/WindowsNoeditor/Ts2Prototype/Content/PAKS and midland mainline apears but i have the default sound.
i have Train sim world 4 on steam and Midland mainline on steam.
Not compatible with TSW4 yet
I tried this earlier today and it now works for tsw4
does 158 have a release for the new audio yet?
!Class158SoundMod4 is for all sounds Except the Perkins engine,
Or
it's all sounds including the engine
or !Class158SoundMod[MML-Perkins]2 is still needed if so desired.
The perkins mod would change all the engine sounds to perkins
Yes I understand, I'm just not sure what the new sound mod does, all sounds including the engine change to cummins?
Firstly thanks for putting the effort into producing this mod. I have spent a bit of time on EMR 158s in the past couple of years so some of those sounds are very recognisable and I appreciate the difference.
The mod seems to work well for me on the MML route, but if I drive the 158 with this mod on the ECML I get a very loud noise sample being played when going under bridges and through tunnels, which is unlistenable. The default 158 sounds seem to have a much lower volume sort of wind/noise sample which plays in these cases on the ECML route, it isn't very good but it isn't completely horrible either.
From some very brief experimentation, it appears that the MML route (regardless of train) has no audio difference at all when going under bridges or through tunnels (at least for me). So I am wondering if there is something missing from the soundset in the mod that causes it to play effectively random noise on the ECML route in those situations, which if you had only run it on the MML you wouldn't have noticed?
Or is this just something else in my setup causing an issue?
I don't know. I've not done anything deliberately nor touched anything related to bridges
Thanks for responding, no worries if this doesn't have an obvious cause.
Out of interest I was testing something else in my setup by driving an 801 down the ECML earlier and happened to pass a 158 service on the slow lines. As I did so the 158's sound appeared as if it was inside the Azura's cab, which was a bit weird, that doesn't normally happen with the default sounds. So something is a bit odd with the ECML route, but who knows what.
It is what it is, not the end of the world to take the mod out unless I am specifically driving the 158 on the MML.
That has nothing to do with the sound mod, but rather the game itself. I think there is a bug with cab occlusion when going under a bridge. Tsw4 brought tunnel reverb back and for some reason, the 158 has an audio "bug" I guess where going under a tunnel causes the external sound to be heard.
