Richard,
Thanks for the information. I found the Rolls Royce sound clip at
http://qsisolutions.com/sounds/prime-movers.html
It's the second sound clip on the list. Please listen to it and tell me what
you think about using it for a doodlebug. This is the old clip for the
Quantum Revolution decoder, not the new one for the Titan, but that one
isn't on line yet or the link is broken.
Nelson

Nelson - Motors 9841and 9849 with the 275 hp diesel engines ran very
quite,with an exhaust sound similar to a high powered heavy weight car such
as a Chrysler, Buick or Caddy of the 1950's - 1960s, very much different
than the 400 hp motors on 9767, 9770 etc. Richard
