Last week at the Garden State RPM, a woman did a demonstration with Iphone 4 and 5 speakers in her sound engines. They sounded fantastic, and I bought one of each to test. Apparently for most diesel sounds, they are within the range of human hearing and speech, which is what cell phone speakers are "tuned" for. This lets them make much better diesel sounds than the average speaker.
That said, you might be out of luck. A "caterpillar" type engine might be close, but thats really for the 44 ton switchers, not necessarily the other industrial locomotive types. So far as I know, no one makes whitcomb/plymouth/ingersol-rand type diesel sounds. If you're not picky, then its no big deal. If you are, you might need to work for the sound a little bit.
