Favorite model loco whistle videos?

Personally I'm not really fond of them but as long as your happy with them that's all that matters. Enjoy your new purchase.

Nice whistles and even nice engines, but on the French Engine how did you get the chuff when the engine was not moving?

I prefer the whistles on the N&W Y6b.

Lee, 

 

Your BR-44 is a work of art.  

 

Enjoy it!

The MTH Berkshire PS1 has an awesome whistle. It is Very commanding and says get out of the way. Lol

Lee,

Thank you for the excellent review and videos on the BR-44, I too love the detail and sound sets in the MTH European line. I hadn't thought about the BR-44, but now find myself giving serious consideration to buying one.

Thanks

Oh yeah, that's the ticket! I think I need to smoke a cigarette now....

So haunting. So beautiful. If the new a Legacy version has the same hooter, I'm in!

The best I've ever heard is the most recent Lionel Big Boy.

The "Chapelon" whistle is what I remember as a boy growing up. We were there the day the Wall came down and travelled to our town were I was born. They were moving Russian freight cars out on the tracks above the hill from were we lived, and using all available engines, including steam. For 24/7 we could hear that shrill whistle constantly as trains were made up and heading East with men and equipment. Its a shrill you never forget.

It makes that sound when in neutral.  Not sure if it is protypical or not, or what it means, but it always has . . . 

Well here is our favorite out of all the ones we have that whistle.  Although truthfully I like the GG-1 horn the best... but that is a horn and not a whistle.

 

This was a RailKing Loco Sound engine that I upgraded to PS2.  My son and I must have downloaded a dozen whistle sounds before we picked one we liked.  I can't remember what sound set this was or if it is even scale to this engine.  It just sounded nice, so we kept it.

French fries, French bread and French whistles!

Lee,

Love the BR-44 whistle. The 241.a reminds me of my MTH H-10 Consolidation. Also cool.

Not too mention French wine and French kisses!  Always amazed me how a culture that has raised rudeness to an art form can lead to so many things I really like.
