Denny's work prompted me to dig a little
further into the Winton 201 and 248, and I have attached a document with
drawings and photographs that prove Preston Cook is right. The photo on the QSI
web page is indeed a 248 or similar marine engine. I sent this information to
QSI, so we'll see how they handle the news.
As far as sound decoders is concerned, this
revelation doesn't change anything. As others have pointed out, nobody alive
today really knows what 9900 sounded like at trackside. I'm still of the opinion
that the QSI Winton sound file will be a better representation of 9900 that the
EMD 567 sound files previously offered. At least it's different, as I believe
the sounds should be between 9900 and the first generation diesels with EMD
prime movers.
As an aside, I discovered that Winton 201A
diesel engines were used in some first generation switchers, including CB&Q
SW 9130-9135 and NW1 9200-9201.
