Lionel sound set for articulateds...

I have to legacy B&O EM1.  It does have the two out of phase chuffing sounds.  I have a video on my youtube channel (link below).

I believe for compound articulateds, most (all?) could be run as simple articulated (primary steam to both sets of cylinders) and this would be done at low speeds, which would give the two sets of chuffing sounds, but when in compound mode, there would only be one series of chuffing sounds.  

So, for my 3rd rail y6b which doesn't  have the two sets of sounds, I tell myself its prototypical (but I like to two sets of sounds better, even if it isn't prototypical! 

I have both articulated and 3 cylinder locomotives by both Lionel and MTH, I Have found that the most prototypical chuffs are from MTH. I have compared them from footage of the actual locomotives. My Lionel engines are Legacy and my MTH are PS2. The other sound do favor Lionel.

Jeff....very nice video!  I listened carefully and while there seems to be a little out of phase chuffing starting out...it still doesn't seem right.  For sure the depth and authority of the sound is the best but I think the prototype would exhibit more distinction between the sets of drivers... 

Thanks,

Alan

Jeff,

Awesome!  You can really hear the double chuff (8 chuffs/revolution) go in and out of sync just like in the videos you see of articulated engines (I don’t remember the actual sound of the SP simple articulated engines near me - too young).  It sure sounds a lot better than my MTH Q2 and T1.
