<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They did, Jim. The two E-2as used on the
Clinch in the late days, the 563 and 578, had J-style whistles, too, and they
sounded better on the Pacifics than they did on the streamlined engines, being
out in the open instead of down in a skyline casing. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Soundtraxx has just announced a new TSU-1000
made especially for "Southern Railroads." This decoder features
seven whistles that can be selected; these are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>N&W Class J No. 611</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>N&W Class A No. 1218</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Southern Railway 3-Chime</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tweetsie Whistle (ETW&NC No.
12)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Part No. 826121, $119.00 suggested
retail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have not heard any of these, and do not
know if this decoder is yet available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On another note, since N&W did not
operate the A and J class locos on the Shenandoah Valley line, what
whistle would be appropriate for the K-2 streamlined locos? Is it
the same as used in the Class J? I've got several old Key brass
locos to work on, and I might was well put sound in them too!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any and all
suggestions.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">N&W passenger whistles on steam locomotives
consisted of three tones, the lowest normally sounding around 230 cps.
The other two created what musically is referred to as a “major
triad”. The tuning of all three notes could vary due to changes in
the pressure of the steam passing through the whistle.
Coincidentally, the SP G4s used the same whistle. Soundtraxx
offers this whistle (as a G4) in their “large steam” Tsunami decoder.
They also offer the Frisco 1522 which is a major triad. BWL
has 611’s whistle programmed into their N&W class J decoder, but the
tone is very raspy compared to the real thing, and I don’t know if you
can buy the sound decoder separately. I recommend the Tsunami – or
if you need a little more current capacity, use Soundtraxx’s DSX
sound-only decoder and put some 1.5 amp power decoder in parallel to run
the motor.<BR><BR>Bob Folsom<BR><BR><BR>On 3/8/09 11:06 AM, "NW Modeling
