turbgine posted:If sound is important to you the Lionel "Hooter" whistle on their "J's" is the best in the industry. The older generic Railsounds and the MTH whistle do not even come close. The MTH probably smokes better and using the DCS remote is great, but for the sound you can't beat the Lionel J's.
The N&W J did not have a "Hooter" whistle! The Lionel N&W does not have a "Hooter" whistle either!
The "hooter' whistle is the freight whistle and is found on the Y & A class locos.
