Unfortunately for all of you critics, that's the actual whistle of the actual locomotive.

[LNERMallard]

The model's good, nice smoke, it's just the whistle that needs work! It sounds too European!

[toytrains1]

While it may sound European, it is the prototypically correct whistle for this locomotive as you can hear in some of the videos of the prototype that are available.

[mrnibblets]

is that live steam?? if not, how do you get that smoke showing so well?

and is that lionel? ( "O" )

[toytrains1]

This is an O-gauge electric train. The smoke shows well since MTH (not Lionel) steamers have very good smoke units. I also have about 1000 watts of lighting directed at the train from over my shoulder when I'm filming so it does a good job lighting up the column of smoke from the locomotive.

Oh and one little tidbit, youe track will stay cleaner MUCH longer if you do NOT use he smoke units, if they work the same way is an HO scale one, the unit uses an electrical current to heat light mineral oilt until it smokes (technically it boils) and we all know the water cycle: "Evaporation, Condensation Precipitaton" :)

[toytrains1]

Yes, I know how the smoke units work. However, the smoke is part of the fun of the models. I just need to run the track cleaning car more often!

@LNERMallard It's the prototypical "banshee" whistle.

[train2589]

the reason i like the Allegheny is because it has a cool sounding whistle(my opion). i'm saveing up my money to get wider o-gauge curves and to get one of those.

[BNSFandSP]

@LNERMallard I think the whistle on this one is a howler. I know 1218 has one.

[DUDE3029356]

@toytrains1 just ignore all of them there are too many h8rs out there!

[SpeedbeetleV2]

I've seen the real thing in person!

[luccaopa]

excellent! 5*

The reasons the Allegheny is more enthralling than the Big Boy are: 1 the vertical pilot steps; 2 the flying air compressors; 3 Its height; 4 the large diameter boiler; 5 the leading truck has a heavy-duty frame; 6 the giant sand domes & pipework coming down the sides of the boiler; 7 the massive firebox that you can play handball in. Points 1 - 4 adds up to a very imposing looking loco from the front The BB has most of its piping under a shell much like the Euro steamers & a skinnier boiler.

[Kossimer]

great train, but the whistle sounds like some guy yelling "Woooo!"

[chevroletman90]

wow thats soo amazing!

[huskyjerk]

Beautiful loco! And the box cars looks great, too !!! Wonderful train.
