zhlédnutí 22KPřed rokem
While he's best known for his work on Southern Pacific steam locomotive no. 4449, Doyle McCormack's first love was the Nickel Plate Road. His father worked for the railroad and his first cab ride on steam was aboard No. 743, a sister to our very own 765. Before serving as a consultant on the initial restoration of Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765 in the mid-1970s, Doyle served on the ...

    What is the steam coming from the side of the boiler up front coming from? It's surprising that it doesn't all come out of the smoke stack.

    These locomotives were built to tackle the grades solo or Doublehead on these kind of runs just like the articulated locomotives did with heavy freight. Nothing can stop the power of steam.

    12:37 It Sounds Like PRR Q2 Whistle

  • @SouRwy4501Productions

    I use that whistle for my Bachmann HO scale J3a Hudson model, and it fits it wonderfully. It’s loud and booming, and it conveys the same sense of power and strength that the real J3a Hudsons were often associated with. The real J3a Hudsons wore whistles of the same type as the Nathan 6 chime on 765, and it’s clear to see why. They’re beautiful whistles that sound great on both freight and passenger locomotives.

  • @SouRwy4501Productions

    I use that whistle on my J3a Hudson locomotive model, and it fits really nicely. It perfectly conveys that sense of strength, power, and prestige that the J3a Hudsons and S2 Berkshires carried in real life. I couldn’t think of any better a whistle for such beautiful and massive engines. It’s even prototypical to the J3as, mainly because the NYC’s Hudsons (along with most of their other large passenger locomotives) wore Nathan long-bell 6 chimes.
