Steam whistle sounds

[alexl102]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good British whistle sounds for steam engines, that I could download for free? I've found that whilst some models, such as Gary Price's staniers, have really good whistle sounds, others have either generic built-in whistles or the whistle sound is totally inappropriate for the loco - for example an express engine having a whistle that belongs to a tank engine or vice-versa. I'd love to swap some more accurate whistles in.

I'm not obsessive in the sense that every loco must have exactly the right sound, but I do like them to sound relatively convincing! This isn't meant to be a jab at content creators though. If anyone can suggest anything, I'd be grateful.

Cheers

If you'd like a good 14xx whistle, I have three on the DLS. One is a simple, looping one-tone whistle, the second is a non-looping two-tone whistle and the third is a three-part two-tone whistle of variable length.

They were recorded from The Titfield Thunderbolt. I also have a whistle for Thunderbolt/Lion on the DLS as well.

I can grab the kuids for you if you're interested.

I'm interested in what others come up with as well, as non-looping whistles really annoy me and I'd like to find more looping ones.
