Title: Any intrest in these Custom Whistle files?
Post by: JRad on December 27, 2024, 10:52:58 AM

I have been capturing steam whistle and bell sounds from YouTube videos then editing in Audacity to RailPro compatible .WAV files. My sources have been videos of the East Broad Top Railroad. So far I've captured and converted whistles from EBT 12, 14, 15 and 16. They can be heard in the following two videos...

For each whistle I've created a Crossing, Forward, Reverse and Stop signal. For a few I did my best to create a loop files as well. If there is interest, I'll share the .WAV files here. You would need to import them into the RailPro Assistant since I have not been able to find a way to export sounds from the Assistant once created.

I posted this in the files section as I was planning to upload the files to this thread if there is interest. Oh well. I probably won't be bothering anyway.

I moved your post to give your question more exposure. I moved your post as there was no files to download, your post was a question. I'm not a mind reader, I did not know your intention.

They sound great, I would definitely post them.  No reason not to.  Someone will be happy to use them.

Thanks for posting them!  I don't have any steamers right now but I will probably pick one up eventually.  A variety of whistles to choose from is always welcome.
