[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by twhite</i> <br /><br />I gave up waiting for it, after two years. Whoever gets theirs first let me know how it runs, okay? And let me know if the engine sounds like it's supposed to--very loud, staccato 'pops' from the cylinders. You could hear those babies coming a couple of miles off when they worked Tehachapi. Loudest non-articulated loco I ever heard! <br />Meanwhile, my Rio Grande F-81 has 2-10-2'd me out for a while. [:P][:P] <br /> <br />Tom <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The prototype SF 2-10-2 were indeed known for their loud stack sound, but the QSI sound seems to use one recorded version of the 2 cylinder sound, at least that is how I hear it. I recorded several of my BLI engines running on a roller set and when you play them back, they sound the same. I don't hear any major difference between any of the BLI 2 cylinder engines in overall sound. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
