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

[CSX2057]

I like it! Sounds like the real thing!!

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

[Railfan587]

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

[CSX2057]

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.

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.

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?
