Did the AC9 have rs4 or RS 5 and did it have 4 chuffs?

Railsounds 4.0 with 2 chuffs per revolution.
A beautiful locomotive anyway! Great find Dave,
My favorite articulated, real or model. 2 chuffs on mine, but it sounds good (small
drivers) and at higher (but proper scale) speeds the "chuffing" smooths out anyway,
as in real life (steamers only "chuffed" at low speeds, of course).
If Lionel ever offers the later, converted-to-oil-burning AC-9, I'm in big trouble.
Likewise also one of my favorites. Great sounds & whistle with the option of using the air horn. Two big fat boy speakers in the tender. Nice detail. One of the more unique articulated steamers that has been offered.
I had my Lionel SP AC-9 up-graded to 4-chuffs and a more correct "SP freight" whistle, by Train America Studios. It runs very well and will pull darned near anything.
C'me on Dave - Where's some photos?
