I used this "Sounds from the Steam Locomotive" CD that Kirby shows in his email (I think it cost $10) to decide what whistle to use in my Tsunami sound decoders. For the Tsunami2 TSU-2200 decoders, I felt like the best match (for road engines) was C&S #801, which is value #9 in CV 120. This was also the selection that I used in the older Tsunami TSU-1000. For my 0-8-0 with a Tsunami TSU-1000, I used the "C&S #74 (Road Mix). I used an Econami ECO-100 in my 0-6-0, and selected the SP GS-4 #4449 as the closest match (value #12 in CV 120). You can also determine the desired match for the bell and the chuff by listening to this CD (although that took me numerous replays of the CB&Q and C&S CD tracks to feel relatively content with my selections for these).

You might try to get a copy of the attached CD. This is a pic of the index side.

The Folkways CD I noted yesterday is # FX 6153. There are 15 cuts of
Q steam locomotive, starting with 510; several #4900s and the rest are 5100 5300
and 5500 locomotives. There is one ut ot #7000 double headed with
5500. These are available through the Smithsonian. The recordings
were made in the fifties by a chap who loaded his station wagon with very high
tech equipment. The recordings came across qhiet will on my stereo.
There are three other CD’s with steam sounds. I
think one of them has other Q engines. Hope this
helps.

There is a recording of Q and C&S steam on Folkways records, which are
available from the Smithsonian. I have a copy in the basesment and I will
post the specifics tomorrow.

Whoops,
#801 wasn't an O4 maybe after all but one of the C&S light mikes
maybe? It probably lasted long enough that good sound recordings of it
existed to make a basic audio track to go off for creating a DCC chip sound
profile. I have no idea if this terminology is correct but it does sound
like I sort of know what I'm talking about!

I
was thinking of using one of the Santa Fe style whistle sounds for the
Burlington Route. If you watch the video on YouTube of the #1522
southbound out of Galesburg returning to St. Louis from Railroad Days one year
she's using a real "Q" whistle and it's a bit of a screecher. The note on
the video says it's a 5 chime whistle. I know who the videographer is and
he's well versed on steam locomotives so I don't have any reason to not think
this is a real Burlington Route whistle. The #1522 was a very loud
locomotive too so my plan is to use the sounds of #1522 to approximate
Burlington Hudsons and 4-8-4s which were also apparently "loudmouths" along with
using the Santa Fe passenger whistle. Santa Fe used two different
whistles... one for freight and a more melodious version for passenger.
Wait
to get past the video of the #1522 on its home turf where shes using her
standard deep steamboat whistle.
Here's a sample of a DCC decoder from Soundtraxx with a Santa Fe step top 6
chime whistle...
Here's a Soundtraxx file of Colorado and Southern #801 as well... wasn't
she one of our O4 2-8-2 mikes we've been talking about?

Maybe I should rephrase this, what whistle would
sound right for different C&S steam engines, I would guess the 50’s era
purchases of USRA Mikes would keep what they had on the CBQ but haven’t heard
any recordings. Did C&S use any kind of standard whistle on most of
their steamers? Steve Near Walla Walla
