Er , all this sound business has me puzzled .

I walk alongside my steamers saying "chuff chuff chuf , chuff (in syncronism with the valve gear , naturally) .

Similarly , I walk alongside the diesels saying “acka tacka acka tacka broom broom broom broom thud thud thud” .

So what’s wrong with that ?

Why is my son loitering behind me holding handcuffs ? Why is he saying “bedtime dad” ? I want my bottle . Nighty night , sleep tight , get out of bed if you want to…hey , get those cuffs off me !!!

Terry, diesels with steam sound is ok. Steamers with diesel sounds is just wrong. :wink:

On a lark (super sale) I bought two of the LGB Laughing Cars. Too bad the sound units bit the dust (and can’t be fixed) or I’d record a sound equipped steamer with two boxcars of laughs. It may still happen but it is far down the l-o-n-g list of projects.

Mike, the neighbor kid used to chuff and “whoo” around my backyard. We called him Whoo-wee. Indecently, his name was Mike too. I was so glad when he discovered…GIRLS!

I while back I mentioned that I don’t like to watch movies based on books I read, they seldom match my imagination.

OTOH I can well imagine “Whoo-wee” doing his stuff and "Whoo-wee"s grow up and still whistle the same tune, meeting girls has apparently a limited influence. It really is quite hilarious.

Now back to watching British mayhem.

Back to the question “Bluetooth anyone ?”

I had purple teeth once through eating Betel Nuts . Mine hosts at the time told me “dis nut good makey makey funny head” , so being polite (and thoroughly terrified of head hunters) I tried one . It nearly made me brave enough to eat the 6" praying mantis I was offered .
