[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Dave, <br /> <br />I listened to it. It actually sounds like the 611 itself. <br /> <br />If its any consolation, most of the sounds on BLI's site are compressed. The actual models sound clearer. Looks like this is why BLI cleaned up and reposted some of the sound bytes. Hopefully someone who owns one of these beauties will post comments on his/her J11. [;)] I can understand your feelings as I'm passionate about certain locomotive sounds themselves. Consider zipping BLI an e-mail asking them about the 611 sound byte. They actually listen to suggestions from customers.

Yes both had steamboat type whistles, but the real J had a lower tone. I photographed the 611 in 1956 on a train and got to see several of the other J's on trains at that time. in Virginia, and it just does not get any better than that. <br /> <br />It is still a nice model, but getting the sound just right in models is next to impossible. <br /> <br /> I emailed BLI about the sound on the J and they did talk to me since the model and the sound byte sound different to me. In defense of anyone trying to get the whistle correct, it is really hard to duplicate the real sound in a speaker that fits into an HO tender. Diesels sounds are even harder to duplicate since they have more lows than steam sounds. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />.
