Its true the nkp berks had a certain whistle and the pm berks was a little higher and the C&O kanawahs had hooter whistles but i must admit the steamboat type sounds good on 1225

@Jib228 Oh.

@Dinosorable Ture. But what BNSFBen1 and I mean is that we'd like to see the original whistle on her. And Id like to know which one it is. I have a Berk in HO, O and in a train sim that I would like to reprogram them all to have 1225's whistle.

@Jib228 Well, whatever whistle is on a train makes it the train's real whistle. But did you mean you wish that whistle was 1225's original whistle?
-
@Dinosorable They have different whistles off of different locomotives that have been scraped or are not running. They take one off of 1225 and put one of these other ones on. There is no "Berkshire Type" whistle. Different railroads would put different whistles on their locomotives. PM Berks sound nothing like C&O Berks (Kanawhas) because both roads had picked different whistles.

@Jib228 What do you mean?
-
@Dinosorable They swap out whistles from time to time.
-
@bnsfben1 What do you mean? If it wasn't 1225's real whistle, how could it have been blowing it?
-
@KenMacMillan That's right. On normal days, the Polar Express is just a normal train.
-
this train was perfect for polar express, its blow downs look less like jet of steam and more like it's riding on clouds
This whistle kicks ass!!! Doesn't get better than this!
