<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>The hooter whistle in Tsunami’s can possibly be made more “haunting”. I haven’t tried this, but there is an entire series of sound modulating CV’s on a Tsunami that might be able to add reverb to the tone. The other thing that Tsunami has that others don’t is a short whistle, on function 3. I wish it had more “chiff” but at least you can get a short “toot” that you can’t get on other brands.<BR>

The Hooter whistle leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't have that "haunting" sound we love.<BR>
None-the-less, thanks for keeping us well represented with Soundtraxx.<BR>
Are the Sountraxx decoders programmable? Could a better file be uploaded later?<BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">It is available and I'm told that I have them on the way to me. Another NWHS member and I were at Soundtraxx school last August and heard some of them. I asked for N&W sound samples for Soundtraxx, after that on both of the N&W lists and got no response, so I sent what I could get my hands on, (weren't the best). <BR>

I have not heard any of these, and do not know if this decoder is yet available.<BR>
<BR>
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!<BR>

Thanks for any and all <BR>
suggestions.<BR>
