Use the Loksound Select file for the GE 44 tonner - it's a Cummins diesel engine and would be about as close as you'll get.

As for which sound, what sort of Doodlebug is it? The Galloping Goose sound is specific to the RG prototypes made by welding bus bodies to the back of a car chassis and putting it all on railroad wheels. The more traditional Doodlebugs, that look basically like a passenger car with an engine compartment at the front, were made by several manufacturers and had different prime movers. Many of the early distillate engine ones, if they remained in service, had the motor replaced with a small diesel such as a Cummins or Detroit. Most of them were gas or diesel electric drive, so they wouldn't have 'gear shifts' as they ran. I don't think there are any suviving originals that still run, so no one will have an EXACT sound file, but a small Baldwin or EMD switcher sound wouldn't be entirely out there. With the Loksound V4, there are tons of European locos and railcars to pick from, you can listen to the samples on the ESU web site and pick one that you like and have it installed on the decoder when you buy it.

John,
Skip the Tsunami and get a Loksound decoder for your doodlebug You'll be happier with the results - both sound-wise and better motor-control.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Wanted to ask those that have sound decoders, I have a doodlebug and am thinking about using the soundtraxx TSU -1000 sound decoder in it. the question is would you use the gallooping goose one or the Baldwin VO one? I really like the goose one cause of the gas engine sound but the horn just does not sound right. Any thoughts?
