<p>The "Bang!" is more of Chum-chumpth... chum-chumpth with a distinct metallic sound as if alot of weight is being moved.</p><p>That is the air compressor.</p><p> You are now part of the Sound Steam.</p><p>My favorite is the Turbo Generator Spin up on the M1a PRR 4-8-2 just before it begins to move. It is at the absolute limit of my hearing in hertz but I can enjoy it.</p><p>There is a video somewhere on the forums that has a full ABBA set of FA units with sound chanting under load lugging a train thru some switches.</p><p>I have a set of ABBA F units from Broadway in the B&O that are fully equipped with sound and DCC. That was a gift to me financed by extra hours (Long hours) at work. I had some teething troubles with them with gaps in the speaker and one service call. Am getting ready to slave the A/B pairs so consisting will be easier to make and break.</p><p>Sound is very nice, it is Pricey.</p><p>I hear tell that the new QSI upgrade chips allow steamers to "Drift" when the throttle is reduced and may try one of those.</p><p>Basically Broadway kept me in the hobby by releasing steamers that perform well and the only problem is that they are expensive. Very much so.</p>
