PCM Y6b Pot Stirring Pt. II,sound

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Hello,
 
following up this discussion, I felt, some more information might  be helpful?
 
In my opinion, the best source of various and typical sounds when starting  a 
Y6 might be  Winston Link's  'Sounds Of Steam Railroading'.
On Side A, take 2 there is a fine recording of a starting Y, showing all  
different sounds.
Remember, the Ys were compounds, first starting in single motion 'cha-whom,  
cha-whom', then changing into compound motion 'whumm-whumm' at  10 ... 15 mph 
(pardon in case this isn't spelt 100% correctly!).
The exaust will reach a peak volume at low speeds  (long cut off!) and wide 
open will appear at speeds around 20 mph. At  higher speeds, the combined sound 
of clanks and offbeat  roar my be as loud.
That change is to be heard on that record as are their two cross  compounds 
in a fine sound sequence!
By the way, I had the oportunity to take hifi-stereo tape recordings  of both 
A 1218 and J 611 of my own (I regret, none of the Y6 wasn't  alive!).
