I do find now I'm able to solve complex mathematical equations now, so maybe the hit on the head was the reason. ;)<br /><br />TedTed DiIoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961396382951210322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176540267906066937.post-66891813674572767642015-05-14T09:58:23.302-04:002015-05-14T09:58:23.302-04:00Gosh Ted.

The 61 had a Winton 120 gas engine and the 62 initially had a pair of Winton 106D distillate engines. The 62's engines were changed to a single gas engine in 1930. I have no idea of the sound of a Winton.<br /><br />For fun I put a Tsunami Galloping Goose Ford V8 in 62 - my operators like it, particularly the OOOA horn. Dick Bradley.

Back when I was modeling the EBT I found a sound file of their M1 Gas Electric and then went over to the sound file section at the Soundtraxx website. I found the GE Cummins to be the closest to the sound I needed. Since switching to modeling the Ma & Pa I'm sticking with my choice since non of the sound decoder manufacturers have come out with a Gas Electric decoder. <br /><br />TedTed DiIoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961396382951210322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176540267906066937.post-50254467818247410362015-05-09T09:45:02.680-04:002015-05-09T09:45:02.680-04:00'Tis good to hear that you are recovering. Wh...'Tis good to hear that you are recovering. What sound decoders will you use in the gas/electrics? To me an important part of the sound of a gas electric arises externally from traction motors, wheels and suspension. Dick Bradley Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
