go to about 1:43, you'll get a good rev-up of an EMD 567-cycle non turbo GP9 that sounds eerily similar to the built-in sound on the default Geeps and F7s. and here i thought real engines didn't sound anything like the ones built-in to trainz. shows you the forums aren't always right!

Posted because of a thread in payware annoucements...take if for what you will.

EDIT: aw, blast, this probably goes better in prototype announcements...blast. also shows i need to think about stuff for more than three seconds

That's awesome! And... it's a local short line railroad near me to boot! The Grafton & Upton was just resurrected from the dead over the past few years and is in the process of being rebuilt again. Their new yard looks great there.

Here's another video to enjoy http://wn.com/Grafton_and_Upton_Railroad


Sadly, to bring this off-topic, they did cut up the old St Louis Terminal S1 right on the premises. The working locomotive should have gone to a museum instead. This engine served the previous and current owner until the Geep showed up.

Thanks for the links.

The derailment occurred on some unrehabed track in Milford, MA. That section, from what I've read has been worked on this year.

The bell is weird on the CF7! I think it's manually pulled like x x x x, then xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx. In music this would be 4 quarter notes followed by 4 groups of 16ths on each quarter.

Of course they are...

The QR2100 enginesound, and the ALCo enginesound were made from locomotives in Australia. You can see them now all over the web.

I saw a video on the Web of the Class 2100...non-turbo EMD-Clyde with many miles & overhauls. An absolute legend!

Anyone that wishes to complain can first make their own!
