It would be a big surprise if the recent model only had the sound of 1 diesel motor. I think the fx versions of this loco simply had the V 200 sound ... With the prototype you hear 2 diesel motors and 8 electric motors working (probably plus blower, compressor, ...).

My 2016 VT 11.5 (37604) simulates the sound of the diesel motors in both power cars, so I am expecting that the V 188 will do that too. I'm not sure that anyone actually has one yet to make an exact determination though.

I just got back from a short holiday in Portugal so I'll put it on the track tomorrow and report back!

Any insights that you can provide into the appearance/operation/sounds of this model would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The engine sounds seemed to be more complex than those of other diesels I happen to have on the layout, but I can't tell for sure. We'll have to get a second opinion.

The most obvious way to tell that the sounds of two engines are simulated in my VT 11.5 is when you first turn on the operating sounds when the train is sitting idle. First you hear one engine start and settle into an idle and then a few seconds later you hear the second one start. Pretty cool. Actually, after it is running it might be pretty hard to tell one way or the other.
