N&W 611 Whistle Pack

[Railfan587]

I am currently making a whistle pack for the new freeware N&W 611 by thelocoshop.This pack will feature multiple bells and whistles that 611 has worn during her excursion career. This includes 1982-1983, 1984-1986, 1987-1990, 1991-1994, 2015, and 611's current whistle which she has worn since 2016. I may add other J (or K2a) whistles if I can find good recordings. The following video demonstrates the 1984-1986 version of 611's whistle as she pulls an excursion for the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society (NRHS) on the B&LE on August 3, 1986. https://youtu.be/Ye2IRFBu_Gg

Thank you! I did not even know that this was available on their site. I've been seriously wanting this locomotive. I'm looking forward to your whistle pack as well.

Here's the preview to the 2016-present whistle.

Here's the 1987-1990 Whistle. For the record, this whistle was a pain to do. The whistle had a bad screech during those years, and finding a clip without an obnoxious screech wasn't easy. However, the whistle sounds quite nice when the screech is subtle. Now, here's the 1989 Independence Limited Doubleheader.

This pack will feature in service whistles. First up, it's N&W 611 in 1958, as heard in O. Winston Link's "The Fading Giant (Sounds of Steam Railroading Vol. 2)". Also, I've decided to add three new crossing bells to go along with the whistles (Two from Link's "Sounds of Steam Railroading Vol.1"). This bell is from Vesuvius, VA.

More whistles are on the way. I just haven't had the time to film any scenes. Stay tuned!
