Re: [CBQ] Pioneer Zephyr 9900 Chime(s)

Hal,

I have a copy of the Silver Streak that came with the ConCor model.  Aside from 
the movie there are several other features on the DVD.  One of them is the 
Tracks Ahead segment that shows ther restoration of the 9900.  The 9900 is 
shown being pulled it out of the shop upon completeion and they were blasting 
the horn.  If the horn is the orginal (and I would think the MSI people would 
want that) it could give you the correct sound.

Just a though.

  Subject: [CBQ] Pioneer Zephyr 9900 Chime(s)


  I wish to program a Loksound sound decoder for an HO model 9900. 
  I may have a file usable for the Winton engine, but not sure about 
  the chime and bell.

  What I have so far is the original movie "Silver Streak" and the 
  PBS program "Streamliners". They have completely different chimes on
  the soundtracks. The movie has a three-note that sounds like flutes.
  "Streamliners" has a single note horn.

  Possibly neither of these were recorded from the actual equipment;
  can anyone say? If not, is a real recording available anywhere?
  If not, I can synthesize the sound if I know the pitch(s) of the 
  notes.

  I had the impression that there was a single chime on the 9900, so
  was surprised when I watched Silver Streak. Wonder if a Hollywood
  sound guy thought he could improve on the as-built sound?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hal
