I will also included the bells from my NKP Bell Replacements, 765's original steel bell, and 765's new polished brass bell.

Nice work! I'll be looking forward to implementing the 765 whistle to the loco.

I like it! Sounds like the real thing!!

I made some more progress this weekend. I'll post a progress update tomorrow.

By the way, would you two like to beta test when I'm done?

I sure do!

Here's my progress report:
A Lunkenheimer 3 Chime has been added to the list as well as a Wheeling and Lake Erie whistle and what I think is a Reading 6 Chime. I heard it at 9:45 in this video.

I also decided to redo the PRR 3 Chime. I was never really satisfied with my PRR 3 Chime Pack, but because I got good feedback I uploaded them. This new one has better sound and a cleaner loop. Feel free to use this one on the PRR K4 Pacific.

Also, I finished the C&O Single Note Hooter.

Here's the polished brass bell.

While testing the C&O whistle, I decided to dress up NKP 765 as C&O 2765. And I did my first repaint. As you can see in the pictures below, I changed the white lettering on Tori's Kanawha to C&O yellow. I also did a tender with a C&O logo on it and a model of the loco with a gray front.

Here are the tenders.

Oh dude, If I can show you what I really want in the future from the HO Scale Models. But I have my favorites, I can sure use those for my model route.

Just finished the Lunk.

I finished the N&W J Class whistle last night. Who else is excited about N&W 611 returning to steam next year? I missed all of the great steam excursions in the 80s and 90s (very late 90s kid). Hopefully, I'll get to see 611 next year, and 765 of course. I saw on a dvd that they doubleheaded back in 84.

If I could drive it on ts2014 I'm happy.

Finished the WLE 5 Chime today.

EDIT: I found out that this is actually B&LE 643's Whistle.

I made a lot of progress yesterday. I finished the Reading 6 Chime, a new Lima 5 Chime, and the Nathan 6 Chime (2012-Present.) I've finished a fanasty guest whistle. Since 765 is in the Norfolk Southern Steam Program, I decided to make a Southern 3 Chime guest whistle. I think a Southern 3 Chime would sound great on the 765. Here are the sound clips.

I made two versions of the Southern 3 Chime. The first is a MD Whistles replica and the second is Southern 4501's Whistle. Which one is better?
