P2K 2-8-8-2

They didn't cheat.  All modern freight steam engines had a "hooter" 
whistle, like the Broadway-Limited engine has.
Here is a sound clip of the 1218, but the Y's were the same, to ease your 
mind.  If yours sounds like this, you are good to go.
It's a wonderful sound, isn't it.

PS... I hope you all are writing to Life-Like, and Broadway Limited, 
begging them to do some more N&W steam. We sure need a Y6b.
